When working with a publicly traded company, those who wish to purchase stock in the company are allowed to do so and the stock is traded within the stock market.

Answer:

Assume that you hold a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. You are in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Alpha Corp at $10 a share and adding it to your portfolio. Alpha has an expected return of 21.5% and a beta of 1.70. The total value of your current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Alpha stock? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Old portfolio return

11.0%

Old portfolio beta

1.20

New stock return

21.5%

New stock beta

1.70

% of portfolio in new stock = $ in New / ($ in old + $ in new) = $10,000/$100,000=

10%

New expected portfolio return = rp = 0.1 × 21.5% + 0.9 × 11% =

12.05%

New expected portfolio beta = bp = 0.1 × 1.70 + 0.9 × 1.20 =

1.25

Use the following data to determine the total amount of working capital.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

$353,800

Explanation:

Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

where,

CA = $146000 + $189000 + $155000 + $94800 = $584,800

CL = $206000 + $25000 = $231,000

therefore,

Working Capital = $584,800 - $231,000 = $353,800

In 2007, Gillette saw an opportunity to capture the market of 500 million Indians who used double edge razors with no protection

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Gillette in India

The failure of the Vector was caused by the fact that Indian men have longer and thicker hair, which the lack of earlier research in the targeted demographic segment did not discover.

Explanation:

Since Indian men have longer and thicker hair than the local consumers of Gillette's razor products in America, an earlier research would have uncovered the fact. Thereafter, the discovery would have been incorporated into the design and production of Vector for the Indian market. No wonder, with its Mach 3 Turbo razor, Gillette overcame its initial inertia and handicap and made a success of the razor business in India.

Handy Man, Inc., has zero coupon bonds outstanding that mature in eight years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a curre

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

5.657%

Explanation:

Data provided:

Face value = $1,000

Current market price = $640

Time of maturity, t = 8 year

Now,

the compounding formula is given as:

Face value = Current amount × $(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where,

r is the rate i.e pretax rate of debt

n is the number of times the interest is compounded i.e for semiannual n = 2

thus, on substituting the values, we get

$ 1,000= $ 640 × $(1+\frac{r}{2})^{2\times8}$

1.5625 = $(1+\frac{r}{2})^{16}$

$(1+\frac{r}{2})$ = 1.0282

r = 0.05657

pretax cost of debt = 0.05657 × 100% = 5.657%
