Answer:  BP = BD(WD) + BE(WE)

                   1 = 0.86(1-WE) + 1.39WE

                   1 = 0.86-0.86WE + 1.39WE

                   1 = 0.86 + 0.53WE

                 -0.53WE = -0.14

                  0.53WE  = 0.14

                         WE   = 0.14/0.53

                         WE   = 0.2641509434

                         WD = 1 - WE

                         WD = 1 - 0.2641509434

                         WD = 0.7358490566

The dollar amount of investment in stock D = 0.7358490566 x $215,000

                                                                         = $158,207.54

Explanation: The beta of the portfolio is 1, which corresponds to the beta of the market. The beta of the portfolio equals beta of each stock multiplied by the percentage of fund invested in each stock(weight). The weight of stock D is equal to 1 - weight of stock E. Therefore, we need to make weight of stock E the subject of the formula by solving the problem mathematically and collecting the like terms. The weight of stock E is 0.2641509434. The weight of stock E will be subtracted from 1 so as to obtain the weight of stock D, which is 0.7358490566. The dollar amount of stock D equal to $215,000 multiplied by 0.7358490566, which is $158,207.54.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

1) True

Explanation:

The checks and balances system allows every one of the government branches a say on new laws. First of all, Congress makes and passes laws. Second, the President can veto any law, and Congress needs two-thirds votes on both houses to overrun the presidential veto. Third, the Supreme Court decides if the law is constitutional or not, if it decides that the law is unconstitutional, it is eliminated completely or partially depending on the ruling.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Total= $13,221.52

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Deposited $3,200 in an account two years ago and is depositing another $5,000 today.

A final deposit of $3,500 will be made one year from now.

Interest expense= 4.85% compounded annually.

We need to calculate the final value of each deposit using the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

First deposit= 3,200*(1.0485^5)= $4,055.01

Second deposit= 5,000*(1.0485^2)= $5,496.76

Third deposit= 3,500*(1.0485)= $3,669.75

Total= $13,221.52
