Answer:

a-1. Variance = Beta² * Standard deviation of market² + Residual standard deviation²

Beta increases by 0.2

= 1.4 + 0.2

= 1.6

Total variance

= 1.6² * 35%² + 45%²

= 51.61%

a-2. If residual value increases by 7.54% it becomes:

= 45 + 7.54

= 52.54%

Total variance

= 1.4² * 35%² + 52.54%²

= 51.61%

b. ii. Increase of .20 in beta will have a greater impact.

Portfolio standard deviation helps ascertain the effects of systematic risk on the portfolio. Beta is used to represent that systematic risk. A change in Beta will therefore affect standard deviation more because standard deviation shows the impact of beta as a representation of systematic risk.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Liquidity Ratio = 3.33

Asset to Debt ratio = 1.94

Debt to Income ratio = 95.57%

Debt Payments to disposable income = 36.76%

Investment assets to total assets = 23.51%

Explanation:

Liquidity Ratio = [ Liquid Assets ] ÷ [ Short Term Debt ]

= $14,000 ÷ $4,200

= 3.33

Asset to Debt ratio = [ Total Assets ] ÷ [ Total debt ]

= $319,000 ÷ $164,200

= 1.94

Debt to Income ratio = [  Total Debt ] ÷ [ (Gross Income + Disposable income -expenses) ]

= $164,000 ÷ [ ($13,000 + $6800 - $5500) × 12 ]

= 0.9557 or 0.9557 × 100% = 95.57%

Debt Payments to disposable income

= [ Long term debt payment + short term debt payment ] ÷ [ Disposable income ]

= [ $2,200 + $300 ] ÷ $6,800

= 0.3676 = 36.76%

Investment assets to total assets

= $75,000 ÷ $319,000

= 0.2351 = 23.51%

If a society moves from a period of time with significant unemployment to a time with full employment, its production possibilit
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.  

Point outside the curve or to the right of the curve means that the production level is not attainable given the level of resources

Points inside the production possibilities curve means that the nations resources are not being fully utilised

Factors that cause the PPF to shift  

1. changes in technology.  

2. changes in available resources.  

3. changes in the labour force.

Due to the significant unemployment , production would occur at a point inside the curve. When the firm moves to full employment, production would take place on the curve
