Answer:

a) Expected Return 12.12% b) Portfolio Beta 1.29

Explanation:

Expected return is calculated by sum of expected returns and the probability of the outcome

E(R) = (0.32*-0.11) + (0.68*0.23)

       =-0.0352 + 0.1564

        =0.1212/12.12%

The beta of a portfolio equals the sum of weighted average of the beta for all individual stocks held in the portfolio

Pβ =(Wq*βq)+(Wr*βr)+(Ws*βs)+(Wt*βt)

      =(0.33*1.02)+(0.20*1.08)+(0.37*1.48)+(0.10*1.93)

       =1.29

Answer:

1) Expected return is 12.12%

2) Portfolio beta is 1.2932

Explanation:

1)

The expected return can be calculated by multiplying the return in a particular state of economy by the probability of that state occuring.

The expected return = (0.32 * -0.11) + 0.68 * 0.23

Expected return = 0.1212 or 12.12%

b)

The portfolio beta is the the systematic riskiness of the portfolio that is unavoidable. The portfolio beta is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio.

Thus the portfolio beta will be,

Portfolio beta = 0.33 * 1.02 + 0.2 * 1.08 + 0.37 * 1.48 + 0.1 * 1.93

Portfolio beta = 1.2932

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The answer is A) $2,000

Explanation:

According to the IRS Publication 525 (2018), Taxable and Nontaxable Income

<em>"</em><em><u>If you receive tangible personal property (other than cash, a gift certificate, or an equivalent item) as an award for length of service</u></em><em> or safety achievement, you generally can </em><em><u>exclude its value from your income</u></em><em>. However, the amount you can exclude is limited to your employer's cost and </em><em><u>can’t be more than $1,600</u></em><em> ($400 for awards that aren’t qualified plan awards) for all such awards you receive during the year. Your employer can tell you whether your award is a qualified plan award. Your employer must make the award as part of a meaningful presentation, under conditions and circumstances that don’t create a significant likelihood of it being disguised pay." </em>

Ed has to include the $2,000 he received as income but the $250 watch can be excluded.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

a. Due to increases in hay prices, an input for raising cattle, the price of a gallon of 2% milk increases from $2.98 to $3.25.  QUANTITY DEMANDED DECREASES, as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded decreases.

b. Groupon has a Groupon for $6 off the price of laser tag.  QUANTITY DEMANDED INCREASES, as the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity demanded increases.

c. Sharp increase in the price of wood causes increases in prices for dressers and desks.  QUANTITY DEMANDED DECREASES, if the price of a key input increases, the production costs will increase, resulting in a higher selling price ⇒ lower quantity demanded.

d. Week long special at the grocery store, where pork shoulder is on sale at $1.99 a pound, down from $3.99 a pound.  QUANTITY DEMANDED INCREASES, as the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity demanded increases.

e. Buy one get one free special for MP3 albums on Amazon. QUANTITY DEMANDED INCREASES, the buy one get one free promotion lowers the price of a good or service, resulting in higher quantity demanded.
