You own the following portfolio of stocks. What is the portfolio weight of Stock C?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

38?59%

Explanation:

Calculation for the portfolio weight of Stock C

First step is to calculate the Total Value of Stock A to Stock D in the Portfolio using this formula

Total Value of stock A to stock D in Portfolio = Number of Shares * Stock Price

Let plug in the formula

Total Value of stock A to stock D in Portfolio = (A 120 *$32)+ (B 750* $28)+ (C 450* $52) +(D 240* $51)

Total Value of stock A to stock D in Portfolio = A $3,840+ B$21,000+C$23,400+D$12,240

Total Value of stock A to stock D in Portfolio=$60,480

Last step is to calculate the portfolio weight of Stock C using this formula

Portfolio weight of Stock C =Stock C /Total Value of stock A to stock D in Portfolio

Let plug in the formula

Portfolio weight of Stock C= 450 *$52/$60,480

Portfolio weight of Stock C=$23,400/$60,480

Portfolio weight of Stock C=0.3869*100

Portfolio weight of Stock C=38.69%

Therefore the Portfolio weight of Stock C will be 38.69%

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The answer would be PRICE SIGNALING

Explanation:

Price signaling may occur when consumers have imperfect information about product quality. To infer quality, consumers may rely on previous experience or may use some of the product’s observable characteristics, such as the product’s price. We examine the scenario whereby the firm can endogenously change consumers’ beliefs about the product’s quality by altering both the price and quality of its product. Our main findings are that, in this type of setting, price signaling causes the firm to raise its price, lower its quality, and dampen the degree to which it responds to cost shocks. If the cost of adjusting quality is sufficiently high, the dampening effect is pronounced in the downward direction, meaning that price signaling causes prices to respond less to cost decreases than cost increases.
