Answer:

a. is weak-form efficient

Explanation:

A weak-form efficient market postulates that the present price of a stock reflects previous all data from past prices.

It suggests that no technical analysis can be of help to the investor.

This implies that fundamental analysis using historical prices and data of a stock can be used to predict stocks that are overpriced or underpriced.

So researching a company's financial statements gives an edge on predicting today's stock price.

Investors can make abnormal profit

Why is it useful for organizations to think in terms of designing a mix of programs rather than choosing one overall compensatio
Andreas93 [3]

Answer with explanation:

It is better for companies to offer a mixture of compensation programs instead of only one since it attracts a major number of competent workers. Some employees might be very selective at the time of choosing a job according to the benefits they could receive. For instance, a high executive could prefer to start working in an "A" firm since they organization offers an attractive number of stock shares per year as part of the compensation program instead of working for firm "B" that is not even publicly listed.

Bill Dukes has $100,000 invested in a 2-stock portfolio. $32,500 is invested in Stock X and the remainder is invested in Stock Y
pshichka [43]

Answer:

0.98

Explanation:

Computation for Bill Duke portfolio's beta

First step is to find the Investment in Y which is:

Investment in Y=100,000-35,000

=$65,000

Second step is to calculate for the Portfolio beta using this formula

Portfolio beta=Respective beta*Respective Investment weight

Portfolio beta =(35,000/100,000*1.5)+(65,000/100,000*0.7)

Portfolio beta=(0.35*1.5) +(0.65*0.7)

Portfolio beta =0.525 +0.455

Portfolio beta=0.98

Therefore the Portfolio Beta will be 0.98

A start-up internet service provider expects to gain money in each of the first four years. Gains are projected to be $50 millio
ipn [44]

Answer:

A. Draw the cash flow diagram.

since the site doesn't include a drawing tool I just prepared a table to depict cash flows associated to years one through four:

Year                   Cash inflows

1                            $50 million        

2                           $60 million  

3                           $70 million  

4                           $100 million  

B. What is the present worth of the gains for the first three years?

  • the present value of the first three cash flows = $50/1.1 + $60/1.1² + $70/1.1³ = $45.45 + $49.59 + $52.59 = $147.63 million

C. What is the present worth of the gains for all four years?

  • the present value of the first three cash flows = $50/1.1 + $60/1.1² + $70/1.1³ + $100/1.1⁴ = $45.45 + $49.59 + $52.59 + $68.30 = $215.93 million

D. What is the equivalent uniform annual worth of the gains through year four?

  • equivalent annual worth = (NPV x r) / [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ] = ($215.93 x 0.1) / [1 - (1 + 0.1)⁻⁴] = 21.593 / 0.31699 = $68.12 million
