You have $140,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Amount investment in Sock Y = - $126,000

Beta of portfolio = 1.636

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total amount to be invested = $140,000

Stock X Y

Expected return 14% 10%

Beta 1.42 1.18

Expected return of portfolio = 17.6%

Now,

let the weight invested n stock X be W

therefore,

Weight of Stock Y = 1 - W

thus,

( W × 14% ) + (1 - w) × 10% = 17.6 %

14W + 10% - 10W = 17.6%

4W = 7.6

W = 1.9

Therefore,

weight of Y = 1 - 1.9 = -0.9

Thus,

Amount investment in Sock Y = Total amount to be invested × Weight

= 140,000 × ( - 0.9 )

= - $126,000 i.e short Y

Beta of portfolio = ∑ (Beta × Weight)

= [ 1.42 × 1.9 ] + [ 1.18 × (-0.9) ]

= 2.698 - 1.062

= 1.636

Bess [88]

Answer: Dr. Bostwick was able to provide medical services that did not satisfy his own wants, so he exchanged those services for money that he used to buy things that did. Professor Boudreaux had money but desperately wanted a pediatric gastroenterologist to treat his son.

Explanation:

Trade generates value by transferring goods or services from those who value them less to the people who need them more. The only way people can decide to specialize in the making of a single good or service is because they already know they can trade it for other goods they do need.

In the video 'How the Division of Knowledge Saved My Son's Life', Professor Boudreaux explains that it was thanks to Dr. Bostwick specialization on pediatric gastroenterology that his son´s life was saved.
