Consider the one-factor APT. The standard deviation of returns on a well-diversified portfolio is 18%. The standard deviation on

the factor portfolio is 16%. The beta of the well-diversified portfolio is approximately:_________
Consider the single-factor APT. Stocks A and B have expected returns of 15% and 18%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return is 6%. Stock B has a beta of 1.0. If arbitrage opportunities are ruled out, stock A has a beta of:__________

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. For Beta^2

= Standard Deviation of Well Diversified Portfolio^2 ÷ Standard Deviation of factor Portfolio^2

= (18%^2 ÷ 16%^2)^0.5

= 18 ÷ 16

= 1.125 or 1.13

And,

2. Expected Return = Risk free rate + Beta ×Factor

18% = 6% + 1 × F

F = 12%

The Beta of A is

= (15% -  6%) ÷ 12%

= 0.75

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered

oee [108]

Answer:

11.11%

Explanation:

The computation of the return on assets is given below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

Total assets = Total debt ÷ Total debt ratio

= $657,000 ÷ 0.31

= $2,119,354.839

Total equity = Total Assets - Total Debt

= $2,119,354.839 - $657,000

= $1,462,354.839

Net profit = Total equity × Return on equity

= $1,462,354.839 × 0.161

= $235,439.129

And, finally

ROA = Net profit ÷ Total Assets

= $235,439.129 ÷ $2,119,354.839

= 11.11%

Suppose that GDP is $50 million in 2015 but falls to $48 million in 2016, and that no changes in personal consumption expenditur
Minchanka [31]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

GDP is calculated as follows:

Y = C + G + I + NX

where

C = Consumption

G = Government Expenditure

I = Investment

NX = Net Exports

It is mentioned that in 2015, GDP was 50 million and in 2016, it was 48 million without any change in the factors except NX. It means the net exports that is the difference between export and the import of the country has changed and it has fallen by 2 million.

If a firm in a monopolistically competitive market lowers price, then Use letters in alphabetical order to select options
Valentin [98]

Answer: quantity demanded for the good will increase (D)

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is an imperfect competition where there are many producers that sell products that are differentiated from each another e.g through quality or branding.

In a monopolistic competitive market, firms maximizes profits when marginal revenue equals to the marginal cost. The demand curve of a monopolistic competitive market is downward sloping which means that as price reduces, the quantity demanded for the good will increase.

"Because apples and oranges are substitutes, an increase in the price of or¬anges will cause the demand for apples to increase.
irinina [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Apples and oranges are substitutes. An increase in the price of oranges will cause the demand for apples to increase. This is because people will prefer a cheaper substitute. This increase in the demand for apples will cause its demand curve to shift to the right.

The rightward shift in the demand curve will cause the equilibrium price to increase. But this change in price will not cause a change in demand. The change in price affects only the quantity demanded. Change in demand happens because of a change in other factors.

So, the given statement is not correct.

dsp73

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The time value of money.
