Answer:
The new portfolio beta is 1.31 rounded off to two decimal places.
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is a function of the sum of the weighted average betas of the individual stock's that form up the portfolio. The portfolio beta is calculated using the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
- w is the weightage of each stock in the portfolio
The beta of the portfolio when one stock with a beta of 1 is sold is,
The sum of individual stock betas for 19 stocks is = 20 * 1.31  -  1 * 1  = 25.2
The new portfolio beta when one stock with a beta of 0.97 is added is,
Portfolio beta = (25.2 + 0.97) / 20
Portfolio beta = 1.3085 rounded off to 1.31
 
        
             
        
        
        
The amount to be recorded as depreciation expense on December 31, 2021, is (B) $9,590.

What is depreciation expense?</h3>
- Depreciation expense is the cost of a depreciated asset for a specific period, and it reveals how much of the asset's value was used up in that year. 
- Accumulated depreciation is the entire amount of depreciation expense given to an asset since it was placed in service. 
- A business spends $84,000 on new display racks with a useful life of 7 years (84 months) and no residual value. 
- The corporation would most likely choose a straight-line depreciation technique, which would result in a $1,000 monthly depreciation expenditure ($84,000/84 months = $1,000 per month).
The straight-line technique of calculating depreciation expense is given below:
- = (Original cost - salvage value) ÷ (useful life)
- = ($173,000 - $8,600) ÷ (10 years)
- = ($164,400,000) ÷ (10 years)  
- = $16,440
In this method, the depreciation is the same for all the remaining useful life.
Now for the 7 months, the depreciation expense would be:
- = $16,440 × 7 months÷ 12 months
- = $9,590
Therefore, the amount to be recorded as depreciation expense on December 31, 2021, is (B) $9,590.

Answer:
7.83%
Explanation:
This is calculated by using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula as follows: P = d / (r - g) ……………………………………… (1) 
Where; 
P =  market price of the stock = $24.09
 d = next year annual dividend = $1.26 r = cost of equity = ? 
g = dividend growth rate = 2.6%, or 0.026 
Substituting the values into equation and solve for r, we have: 
24.09 = 1.26 / (r - 0.026) 
24.09 (r - 0.026) = 1.26
 24.09r - 0.62634 = 1.26 
24.09r = 1.26 + 0.62634 
24.09r = 1.88634
 r = 1.88634 / 24.09 
r = 0.0783038605230386, or 7.83038605230386% 
Rounding to 2 decimal places. we have:
 r = 7.83% 
Therefore, the correct option is 7.83 percent. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The major faults of measurement are:
- Coverage
- Measurement
- Sampling and
- Response
Explanation:
During business research, the data collected during the survey can become very unusable due to errors arising from the factors listed above.
The problem of coverage arises when for instance an electronic survey is used to collect data from a sample population where 69% for instance, do not have access to a mobile phone or a computer.
Measurement problems during a survey speak to the ability to properly design a questionnaire in such a way that it elicits the right kinds of responses. This means asking the right questions so that the responses or answers are accurate. The irony of measurement error is that one's survey is useless if they got the questionnaire design wrong, regardless of whether or not the response rate was very high.
After administering a survey and there is little or no response, one is said to have an error in response rate. A low response rate increases the error margin of the survey as well as it's unreliability.
Sampling errors are said to occur when the sample size is too small or statistically homogenous such that it does not accurately represent the entire population. When this happens it is termed <em>sample frame error.</em>
Another error can occur when the researcher includes the wrong population or excludes the right population. This is called <em>Error in Population Specification. </em>
