Answer:

0.43

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of Security A for the minimum variance portfolio is shown below:

Weight of security A is

= (Standard deviation of Security B) ÷ (Sum of the standard deviation of securities)

= (12%) ÷ (16% + 12%)

= (12%) ÷ (28%)

= 0.43

We simply applied the above formula so that the weight of Security A

Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded
PIT_PIT [208]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question

Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s), p is the price of a DVR, and pc is the price of cable television. How much does the quantity demanded for DVRs change if the p rises by $40? A) drops by 10,000 DVRs B) increases by 16,000 DVRs C) drops by 2,500 DVRs D) increases by 4,000

Answer:

Drops by 10,000 DVRs

Explanation:

The demand for digital video recorders is expressed by

Q= 250- .25p+4pc

Where

Q represents the quantity demanded by the customers

P represents the price of DVR

pc represents the price of cable television

Since the factor of p in the expression above is negative, this implies that the quantity of DVR demanded in the market will reduce

If the price of DVR increase by $40, then the quantity demanded will reduce by

= 0.25×40×1000

= 10×1000

= 10,000 units

Hence the quantity of DVRs drops by 10,000 DVRs if the price is increased to $40

Andrei [34K]

The answer to the blank space is data.

The contents of the spreadsheet are the annual record of airfares to different cities from Chicago. This is what we call data – which are facts or statistics collected together for reference or analysis. Since Silway Travels plans to use the annual record information to contrast airfares during peak and off-season, it is clear that the data in this case would be used for analysis.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Office building

Explanation:

The formula to compute the return on investment is shown below:

Return on investment = Operating Income ÷ Average Operating Assets

It is a mix of operating income and the average operating assets through the return on investment could be computed

Since the return on investment is already given in the question

And, the higher return on investment is the best one for property use

So the office building has a higher return on investment i.e 13.5% which reflects the best for property usage.

kupik [55]

Answer:

increase assets by $13,000, increase liabilities by $13,000 and have no effect on equity.

Explanation:

Given that

The total cost of purchase of delivery truck = $15,000

Cash paid = $2,000

The accounting equation equals to

Total assets = Total liabilities + owners equity

The remaining amount left would be equal to

= $15,000 - $2,000

= $13,000

So it would increase the assets for $13,000 as the delivery truck is purchased plus there is also an increase in liabilities for $13,000 as it signed a note payable and there is no effect on equity
