Answer:

8.01%

Explanation:

Expected return on mutual fund = Risk-free rate + Market risk premium*Beta

Expected return on mutual fund = 3% + 7.7%*1

Expected return on mutual fund = 10.70%

Best estimate of the portfolio expected rate of return = Weight of  mutual fund*Expected return on mutual fund + Weight of  risk-free Treasury bills*Expected return on risk-free  Treasury bills

Best estimate of the portfolio expected rate of return = 65%*10.70 + 35%*3

Best estimate of the portfolio expected rate of return = 0.08005

Best estimate of the portfolio expected rate of return = 8.01%

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": People place a higher value on a good if they own it than they do if they are considering buying it.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$1,500

Explanation:

Given the compounding formula A = P(1+r)^{n}

And given an investment (P), made at 16% compounded annually (r), and an ending amount of $1,740 (A) at the end of the year (n = 1 year), the original amount invested (P) can be computed as follows.

1,740 = P(1+0.16)^{1}

1,740 = P * 1.16

= P = 1,740/1.16 = 1,500.

Therefore, the original investment was $1,500.

Darina [25.2K]
(a) Discount amount = Face value - Price of t-bills = $1,000-$996 = $4

(b) Amount received at maturity = Face value = $1,000 (Note: T-bills are guaranteed and thus one of the safest investment).

(c) Current yield, R = Discount amount/Face value * 360/t, where t = 52 weeks = 360 days.

Then,

R = (4/1000)*(360/360)*100 = 0.4%
