Answer:

B. The portfolio expected rate of return must be the same for each economic state.

Explanation:

Variance formula = sum of (probability x (r - mean)^2)

r= expected return

if the expected return would be same for each economic state then the mean would equal to expected return which ultimately will give variance zero ( as r-mean would be 0).

Hence the correct option is B. The portfolio expected rate of return must be the same for each economic state.

If the market for a good that sees its production costs and prices rise is inelastic, the quantity demanded will not change.

<h3>What is inelastic demand?</h3>

A good that has inelastic demand is one that will not see its demand change much when there is a price change.

This means that demand remains more or less the same even if prices rise. Examples of such goods are water and food. The product above will therefore not see its demand change by much.

Len [333]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <u>Is it balanced?</u>

Explanation:

This question based on ethics would be the most appropriate to assess these situations. Because when you confront your friend that it would not be fair and ethical for him to share an article written by him to be used as if you had written it, he responds to you with behavior that you consider unethical, but in these situations there is no balance comparison, as they are different situations.

Ethical issues seek to solve conflicting problems and dilemmas.

raketka [301]

Answer:

10.4%

Explanation:

The computation of expected return on a portfolio is shown below:-

Expected return = Risk Free return + 5%Beta ( Market Return - Risk Free return)

= 5% + 0.60 × (17% - 8%)

= 5% + 5.4%

= 10.4%

Therefore for computing the expected return on a portfolio with a beta of .6 we simply applied the above formula.

The market return less risk free return is known as market risk premium

Morgan Sondgeroth Inc. began operations in January 2018 and reported the following results for each of its 3 years of operations
stepan [7]

Answer:

Part A) Book Value = $1,080,000

Part B) Book Value = $1,050,000

Explanation:

Part 1: To compute the book value of the common stock at December 31, 2020

To do this, we consider both the preferred and common stock values as follows:

Stockholder's equity:

<u>Preferred Stock = $500,000</u>

<u>Common stock = $750,000</u>

Retained earnings: To calculate retained earnings we need to deduct dividends in arrears to prefered stock holders and then ascribe the remaining value to retained earnings.

Dividend in Arrears= 3 years @ 8% interest per year

= 500,000 x 0.08 x 3= $120,000

<u>Remaining earnings for available to common share holders </u>

= Retained earnings balance- dividend paid to prferred stock holders.

=$800,000 (net income for 2020)- $40,000 (net loss for 2019) - $260,000 (net loss for 2018)

= $800,000-$40,000-$260,000

= $500,000 - Dividend in arrears

= $500,000- $120,000

= $380,000

<u>Book Value of Stockholders' equity</u>

Common Stock equity + Balance of retained earnings

= $700,000 + $380,000

= $1,080,000

The book value per share = $1,080,000/ outstanding shares

= $1,080,000/750,000= $1.44

Part 2: To compute the book value of the common stock at December 31, 2020 Preference stock has liquidating value of $106 per share

Stockholder's equity:

<u>Preferred Stock = $500,000</u>

Preferred stock liquidating premium = (106-100) x 5000

= $6 x 5000= $30,000

<u>Common stock = $750,000</u>

Retained earnings: To calculate retained earnings we need to deduct dividends in arrears to prefered stock holders and then ascribe the remaining value to retained earnings.

Dividend in Arrears= 3 years @ 8% interest per year

= 500,000 x 0.08 x 3= $120,000

<u>Remaining earnings for available to common share holders </u>

= Retained earnings balance- net losses from previous years - dividend paid to prferred stock holders - liquadating premium to preferred stock

=$800,000 (net income for 2020)- $40,000 (net loss for 2019) - $260,000 (net loss for 2018)

= $800,000-$40,000-$260,000

= $500,000 - Dividend in arrears - liquidating

= $500,000- $120,000- $30,000

= $350,000

<u>Book Value of Stockholders' equity</u>

Common Stock equity + Balance of retained earnings

= $700,000 + $350,000

= $1,050,000

The book value per share = $1,080,000/ outstanding shares

= $1,050,000/750,000= $1.4
