Answer:
Increase of 130 million
Explanation:
In this question, we are looking to evaluate what has happened to change in deferred tax assets. We proceed as follows;
Firstly, we calculate the current tax.
Mathematically = 40% of 400 million = 40/100 * 400 million = 160 million
Now, as we can see in the question, a decrease in deferred tax asset resulted in an increase in tax expense to a tune of $50 million
This brings the total tax expense to 160 million + 50 million = 210 million
We can see from the question that the company has only recognized a tax expense of $80 million.
This means that the change in deferred tax asset was an increase of 210 million- 80 million = $130 million
The rest of the question?
Answer:
-1.0
Explanation:
Diversification in a portfolio refers to spreading investments in such a way so as to minimize risk.
The correlation coefficient r between two securities signifies how return from one security is related with another security. For example, two securities of the same sector may move in the same direction or positively correlated as in if price of one rises, the price of other rises too maybe not by the same margin.
In case of a negative correlation, the security returns move in opposite directions i.e the securities are least related to one another.
Maximum diversification is achieved when r is equal to -1 i.e the two stocks move in opposite direction by the same magnitude.
