You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks (If one of the stocks has a beta of 0.66 and the total

portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio? (Hint: Remember that the market has a Beta=1; also remember that equally invested means that each asset has the same weight- since there are 3 assets, each asset's weight is 1/3 or 0.3333). Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 1.1234)

Answer:

The beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34

Explanation:

The beta of the portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta for the portfolio, we use the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio

As the portfolio is equally as risky as the market, the portfolio beta is assumed to be the same as that of the market and the beta is 1.

The beta is the measure of systematic risk and a risk free asset does not have risk and has a beta of 0.

To calculate the Beta of stock B in the portfolio, we simply put the available values in the formula for the portfolio beta,

1 = 1/3 * 0 + 1/3 * 0.66 + 1/3 * Beta of B

1 = 0 + 0.22 + 1/3 * Beta of B

1 - 0.22 = 1/3 * Beta of B

0.78 * 3 = 1 * Beta of B

2.34 = Beta of B

Thus, the beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34

Scrat [10]

Answer:

C) differences in the way consumers see themselves and in the way they see products and services.

Explanation:

People from different cultures tend to think that everyone thinks similarly to them, but actually people from different cultures view themselves differently.

For example, Arab states are very warm and have a lot of sunshine, but if you try to sell bikinis you will probably go bankrupt before selling any because culturally Arab women use a lot of clothes even at the beach.

India is the country with the most cattle in the world, but they do not eat beef, so McDonald's probably had to change their recipe when they started operating there.

                       Cash                                                                          $6,250

     3.            Equipment                                       $14,870

                       Cash                                                                          $14,870

                    Being payment for equipment repair to prolong the useful life

                    the asset

Explanation:

The initial cost incurred in acquiring an asset is debited to asset account, subsequently every other cost spent on the assets are either expenses against the earning of that period or expensed over many years over the useful life of the asset.

Capitalization is the recognition of an expense as an asset in the balance sheet rather than expenses in the income statement.

The payment of $22,000 paid for the equipment productivity must be capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset because it is a cost that is  expected to increase the equipment’s productivity by 10% a year.

The  $6,250  paid for normal repair is a revenue items which is to be expensed against the earning of that period.

The $14,870 paid for repairs which will increase the useful life of the equipment from four to five years is a capital expenditure which should capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option A, i.e., To create more value for customers.

Explanation:

Generally, this answer is best for this question because customer satisfaction is more valuable for your business. The word 'value' is mostly means to price or any other things which have value for the businessman as well as the customers also.

In other words, when we create more value to the customer then we get more profit and if we do not value our customer then we suffer loss.  

So, the customer value is more valuable or precious for the businessman or the firm.
