Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The formula to use here will be:

required rate = risk free rate + beta × (market return - risk free rate).

where,

risk free rate = 5%

beta =0.20.

market return = -30%.

Therefore,

required return = 5% + 0.20 × (-30% + -5%)

= 5% + 0.2(-35%)

= 5% - 7%

= -2%

Therefore, the return on portfolio should have been -2% but the portfolio manager produced a return of −10%

Since -10% is lower than -2%, we can deduce that the claim of the manager is wrong.

Jill took ​$50 comma 000 that she had in savings and started her own business. If left in investments she would have earned ​$5
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

$140,000 and $195,000

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

Accounting cost would be

= Jill salary +  material and other labor costs +  Insurance and mortgage payment

= $40,000 + $80,000 + $20,000

= $140,000

The economic cost would be

= Accounting cost + investment left + loss in salary + loss in rent

= $140,000 + $5,000 + $30,000 + $20,000

= $195,000

The loss in salary would be

= $70,000 - $40,000

= $30,000

The loss in rent would be

= $40,000 - $20,000

= $20,000

Marco, a real estate agent, receives a dozen emails in his inbox. Six of the emails are inquiries to a new condo listing he has
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Yes because Marco discriminated by ignoring the email due to its appearance of being linked to someone of a different national origin

Real estate agents are not allowed to discriminate against buyers of property. Of they do they can lose their Liscence.

Discrimination is the act of behaving differently

and withholding benefits from people based on their race, colour, religion, sex, or gender.

In this scenario Marco ignores communicating with one of his clients because the email address has a last name in it that appears to be Irish.

He did not consider the application at all resulting in the client losing the opportunity to obtain the new condo.

As a result of this discriminatory action Marco stands the risk of losing his liscence
