A. Search electronic databases for relevant material.

C. Go to the library, and look for books on the subject.

Explanation:

In a research study, a secondary source is a term that describes a form of source which is not the original source to the interpreted data. In other words, it involves already prepared data which can easily be found in places like academic books and journals

Hence, in this case, when performing secondary-source research, the following should be done amongst others:

1. Search electronic databases for relevant material.

2. Go to the library, and look for books on the subject.

This is because the aforementioned involves a place to get a secondary source and it will save time and effort.

You have $140,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Amount investment in Sock Y = - $126,000

Beta of portfolio = 1.636

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total amount to be invested = $140,000

Stock X Y

Expected return 14% 10%

Beta 1.42 1.18

Expected return of portfolio = 17.6%

Now,

let the weight invested n stock X be W

therefore,

Weight of Stock Y = 1 - W

thus,

( W × 14% ) + (1 - w) × 10% = 17.6 %

14W + 10% - 10W = 17.6%

4W = 7.6

W = 1.9

Therefore,

weight of Y = 1 - 1.9 = -0.9

Thus,

Amount investment in Sock Y = Total amount to be invested × Weight

= 140,000 × ( - 0.9 )

= - $126,000 i.e short Y

Beta of portfolio = ∑ (Beta × Weight)

= [ 1.42 × 1.9 ] + [ 1.18 × (-0.9) ]

= 2.698 - 1.062

= 1.636

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Ruby should go to college.

Explanation:

Ruby is currently 50 years old and earning $50,000 per year.

She would like to retire at 67.

She is thinking of going back to college, to complete a graduate degree.

After completing a graduate degree from the college she would earn $55,000.

The total cost of a graduate degree is $75,000.

Ruby still has 17 years to work and earn.

Her income will increase by $5,000 after college

The increase in income earned after college until retirement

= $5,000 $\times$ 17

= $85,000

Since the increase in income is greater than the cost of going to college, Ruby should go to college.

A country with a population of eight million adults has five million employed, 500,000 unemployed, and the rest of the adult pop

Serggg [28]

The unemployment rate is calculated as the number of eligible persons that are unemployed.

So we would need to remove all the population that is out of the workforce (those who are not eligible to work like the elderly or children).

We know that the total population is 8,000,000 and we can account for 5,500,000 of them so the eligible population of workers is 5,500,000.

If 500,000 of them are unemployed, the rate would be 500,000/5,500,00 or 9%

To find the share of the labor force, take the total eligible (5,500,000) divided by the total population (8,000,000)

5,500,000/8,000,000 = 68.8% of the total population is in the labor force.
