Answer: 28%

Explanation:

First, we have to make an assumption that the initial wealth is 100, then the weight of the risk free asset will be:

= Amount invested in risk free / Initial wealth

= -100/100

= -1

The weight of the portfolio will be calculated as:

= 1 - weight of risk free asset

= 1-(-1)

= 1 + 1

= 2

Therefore, the expected return on the resulting portfolio will be:

= 2 × 16 + [(-1) × 4]

= 32 - 4

= 28

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The price earnings ratio is 19:1

Explanation:

The price earnings ratio tells us that how much price the investors are willing to pay for $1 of earnings provided by the company. The price earnings ratio is calculate by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share.

Price earnings ratio = Price per share / Earnings per share

The price per share is the market price of the stock.

The earnings per share is calculated using the following formula:

Earnings per share = Net Income  /  Weighted average shares outstanding

Earnings per share = 240000 / 60000 = $4 per share

The price earnings ratio = 76 / 4  =  19 / 1   or 19:1

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

D. If Hazel sells the chocolate fountain for $3,300, she will have a $1,500 capital gain.

Explanation:

I´m assuming that Hazel is a person that owns this event planning company.

The current book value of the chocolate fountain = purchase cost - accumulated depreciation = $3,000 - $1,200 = $1,800

If the chocolate fountain (or any asset) is sold at a higher price than book value, then a capital gain must be recognized. If the chocolate fountain is sold at a lower price than book value, then a capital loss should be recognized.

$3,300 (selling price) - $1,800 (book value) = $1,500 capital gain

cluponka [151]

Answer:

You agree that test marketing could be helpful, but you point out that it may also reveal your ideas to your competitors.

Explanation:

In the give scenario the existing famous cheesy butter biscuits sales are going down. In an effort to increase the revenue of the business the head of product development has a theory that people want lighter options today, and she has recommended test marketing a lower-fat version of the biscuits at select locations in eight major cities across the United States.

This is an innovative solution to the problem and the head of product development should be encouraged to drive the test marketing.

However marketing a lower-fat version of the biscuits at select locations in eight major cities will expose the strategy to competitors. It will be better to conduct the test in a more controlled environment away from competitors.
