Answer:

Assume the weight to be invested in Bay Corp is x. That means (1 - x) will be the weight for City Inc. The expression for the expected return will be;

(x * 11.2%) + ( (1 - x) * 14.8%) = 12.4%

0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124

-0.036x = -0.024

x = 0.67

Portfolio beta is;

= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) * 1.8

= 1.398 so beta condition is satisfied.

Amount in Bay Corp.;

= 0.67 * 50,000

= $33,500

Amount in City Inc.;

= 50,000 - 33,500

= $16,500

A higher price point should create value for the customer. The buyers need to know that they are paying for __________, or an un
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Differentiation.

Explanation:

The concept of value for the customer corresponds to the expectation that the product will meet the needs, desires and features that he expects.

The customer's perception of the concept of value is affected in rational and irrational ways, such as brand image, product performance, high price, etc.

Therefore, when a company offers a product at a higher price, it is passing on to the consumer the higher production cost of an item, which has features that add greater value and functionality, such as differentiation, personalization or an unforgettable customer experience.

Differentiated products are those produced in a more heterogeneous way compared to standard products, therefore differentiated products have distinct characteristics that add greater value, such as new features, technology, design, durability, style, etc.
