The options provided are incorrect. The correct answer is given below

Answer:

New Portfolio beta = 1.125

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the beta of a portfolio is as follows,

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

New Portfolio beta = 50000/200000 * 0.8 + 50000/200000 * 1 +

50000/200000 * 1.2 + 50000/200000 * 1.5

New Portfolio beta = 1.125

ABC Company insured its building on a replacement cost basis for $700,000 under a property insurance policy that included an 80%

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Given that

Insurance = $700,000

Sustained cost = $40,000

Replacement cost = $1,000,000

Policy = 80%

The computation of amount eligible for payment is as shown below:-

Insurance required = Cost of building × Co insurance

=$1,000,000 × 0.80

= $800,000

The amount eligible for payment = (Insurance Carried ÷ Insurance Required) × Loss

= $700,000 ÷ ($1,000,000 × 80%) × ($40,000)

= $700,000 ÷ $800,000 × $40,000

= 0.875 × $35,000

= $35,000
