Answer:

1.03

Explanation:

Beta is used to measure systemic risk. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors.

Systemic risk are risk that are inherent in the economy. They cannot be diversified away.

The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio

weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock

Stock Q = 0.35 x 1.34 = 0.469

Stock R = 0.25 X 0.88 = 0.22

Stock S = 0.15 x 0.57 = 0.0855

Stock T = 0.25 x 1.02 = 0.255

Portfolio beta = 0.469 + 0.22 + 0.0855 + 0.255 = 1.0295 = 1.03

Giancarlo has received an inheritance from his rich uncle and is contemplating the purchase of a Suzuki XL7. In an attempt to ma
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Giancarlo’s initial investment in the Suzuki XL7 is $17,122

Explanation:

The computation of the initial investment is shown below:

= Negotiated price of new Suzuki + Taxes and fees charges on purchase of a new car -  proceeds from the old car

= $24,675 + $1,732 - $9,285

= $17,122

The estimated value of the old, new car and the annual repair cost is not relevant for computing the initial investment. Hence, we ignore it and not considered this cost.

Burke tires just paid a dividend of $2.42. analysts expect the company's dividend to grow by 30% this year, 20% next year (year
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

There is no correct answer is these options. But the correct answer is $113.41

Explanation:

The formula to solve this is:

Po = D1/r - g

Po is the Current price of the common stock

D1 is the future dividend payment

r is the rate of return

g is the growth rate.

This is quite different from the usual(single stage). This is Two-stage Dividend Discount Model. To solve this;

D1(Dividend in year 1) is $3.15( $2.42 x 1.3)

D2(Dividend in year 2) is $3.78(3.15 x 1.2)

D3(Dividend in year 3) is $4.15($3.78 x 1.1)

D in subsequent years is $4.36(4.15 x 1.05)

P3(price of stock in year 3) = $4.36/0.083 - 0.05

=$132.12

Now the stock's current market value is

$3.15/1.08 + $3.78/1.08^2 + $4.15/1.08^3 + $132.12^3

The price of the stock is $113.41

Increases in the minimum wage are intended to raise the incomes of low-income workers. Many economists favor a different policy
Stels [109]

Answer:

The Earned Income credit

Explanation:

Many economists choose the earned income credit (EIC) over the increase in minimum wage because it avoids deadweight losses. Deadweight losses results when supply are demand are not in equilibrium (Market Inefficiency). Increases in minimum wages invariably leads to increase in prices of market goods which are overpriced. This leads to market Inefficiency.

So in trying to help low income earners, many economists choose the EIC over just increasing minimum wage.

The earned Income Credit helps certain tax payers with low incomes from work in a particular tax year. It reduces the amount of tax owed and may result in a refund to the tax payers if the amount of credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.
