Answer:

1.15

Explanation:

If investment is made in equal proportions, it means that;

weight in risk free ; wRF = 33.33% or 0.3333

Let the stocks be A and B

weight in stock A ; wA = 33.33% or 0.3333

weight in stock B; wB = 33.33% or 0.3333

Beta of A; bA = 1.85

Let the beta of the other stock be represented by "bB"  

Beta of risk free; bRF = 0

Beta of portfolio = 1 since it is mentioned that "the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market "

The weight of portfolio is equal to the sum of the weighted average beta of the three assets. The formula is as follows;

wP = wAbA + wBbB + wRF bRF

1 = (0.3333 * 1.85) + (0.3333*bB) + (0.3333 *0)

1 = 0.6166 +0.3333bB + 0

1 - 0.6166 = 0.3333bB

0.3834 = 0.3333bB

Next, divide both sides by 0.3333 to solve for bB;

bB = 0.3834/0.3333

w=bB = 1.15

Therefore, the beta for the other stock would be 1.15

iVinArrow [24]

Answer: market power is greatest in industry C.

Explanation:

The Herfindahl–Hirschman Index, is the measure of market concentration. It is calculated by squaring the market share of every firm that is competing in the market after which the resulting numbers will be added.

A market that has an HHI of less than 1,500 is said to be a competitive marketplace. A market that has an HHI of 1,500 to 2,500 is said to be moderately concentrated while a market that has an HHI of 2,500 or more is said to be highly concentrated. Therefore, the industry with the highest Herfindahl indexes here is industry C with 5000 and it has the most market power.

When starting a business, more women choose ________ industries that tend to have lower average sales levels.
Zarrin [17]

When starting a business, more women choose service industries that tend to have lower average sales levels. Those industries that do not directly produce tangible things are known as service industries (such as agriculture and manufacturing).  The supply chain is the process through which items generated in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors are delivered to final customers.

Some service industries involved in this process include transportation, wholesale trade, and retail trade. Others are offered straight to customers. These include public administration, health care, education, information services, legal services, and financial services. Everything else falls under the category of service industries, which also includes banking, communications.
