The government really just expected reduced highway fatalities.  Even though that it costs these multibillion dollar companies a little more to let their drivers rest, it sill makes the roads safe for all drivers.  Driving while tired is almost as bad as driving under the influence, so making sure that these truck drivers get sleep make sure everything is super safe for everyone.

Melissa owns the following portfolio of stocks. What is the return on her portfolio? Stock Amount Invested Return A $8.000 17.5%
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The option c is a right answer.

Explanation:

For calculating the return on her portfolio, the steps is to be followed which is shown below:

Step 1: First compute the weight-age of each portfolio.

Step 2: Multiply the weight-age amount to invested return.

Step 3: After multiply the amounts, the expected return comes.

Mathematically,

Step 1:  Weight-age is to be computed by

= Each Portfolio amount  ÷ total stock amount

where total stock amount = $8,000 + $4,000 +$12,000

                                           =$24,000

For A = $8,000 ÷ $24,000 = 0.3333

For B = $4000 ÷ $24,000 = 0.1666

For C = $12000 ÷ $24,000 = 0.50

Step 2:

Expected Return for A = Weight-age × invested return

                                      = 0.3333 × 17.5%

                                      = 5.83%

Expected Return for B  = Weight-age × invested return

                                      =  0.1666 × 11.0%

                                      = 1.83%

Expected Return for C = Weight-age × invested return

                                      = 0.50 × 4.30%

                                      = 2.15%

So, the total return on her portfolio is a sum of Expected Return for A + Expected Return for B +Expected Return for C

=  5.83% + 1.83% + 2.15%

= 9.81 %

Hence, the return on her portfolio is 9.81% .

Therefore, the option c is a right answer

What is the expected value when a $1 lottery ticket is bought in which the purchaser wins exactly $10 million if the ticket cont
Nadusha1986 [10]

We expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

<u>Explanation:</u>

six winning numbers from = { 1, 2, 3, ....., 50}

So, the probability of winning:

P(win) = \frac{ no of favorable outcomes}{no of possible outcomes}

P(win) = \frac{1}{^5^0C_6} \\\\P (win) = \frac{6! X (50 - 6)!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{6! X 44!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{1}{15,890,700}

The probability of losing would be:

P(loss) = 1 - P(win)

P(loss) = 1 - \frac{1}{15,890,700} \\\\P(loss) = \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700}

According to the question,

When we win, then we gain $10 million and lose the cost of the lottery ticket.

So,

$10,000,000 - 1 = $9,999,999

When we lose, then we lose the cost of the lottery ticket = $1

The expected value is the sum of the product of each possibility x with its probability P(x):

E(x) = ∑ xP(x)

= 9,999,999 X \frac{1}{15,890,700}  + ( -1 ) X \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700} \\\\=- \frac{5,890,700}{15,890,700} \\\\= - \frac{58,907}{158,907} \\\\= - 0.37

Thus, we expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

Byron Corporation forecasts that its income will be $21,000 next year. The firm pays out 30 percent of earnings as dividends to
noname [10]

Answer:

RE break point = $24500

Explanation:

21,000 net income

30% OF Earnings as dividends

21,000 x 30% = 6,300 dividends

Retained Earnings (assuming no previous beginning value)

21,000 - 6,300 = 14,700

RE break point = 14,700/0.6 = 24500

What does the $24,500 mean?

This mean that the company can raise financing for this ammount without changing their capital structure (60% equity 40% debt)

If the company wants to finance for more, it will need to raise new shares or chance their capital structure, and therefore the WACC will change
