Answer:

Quinn values the apple pie at $4 and the chocolate cake at $10 = total $14

  1. since one "half" will only be chocolate, he needs $7 out of chocolate = 7/10 of the chocolate cake.
  2. the other "half" will include 3/10 of chocolate cake and the whole apple pie = (3/10 x $10) + $4 = $3 + $4 = $7

If Dustin chooses the second "half" he will receive 3/10 of chocolate cake and the whole apple pie = (3/10 x $4) + $6 = $1.20 + $6 = $7.20

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:

The market price of a security is $74. Its expected rate of return is 20.2%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 6.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)

Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.

Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Since the correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged), it implies that beta and also the risk premium will also double.

From the question, we can obtain:

Current risk premium = Expected rate of return - Market risk premium = 20.2% - 6.5% = 13.70%

As the current risk premium will double, we have:

New risk premium = Current risk premium * 2 = 13.70% * 2 = 27.40%

Also, we have:

New discount rate = New risk premium + Market risk premium = 27.40% + 6.5% = 33.90%

Since it is assumed that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity, the dividend can therefore e calculated as follows:

Dividend = Current market price * Current expected rate of return = $74 * 20.2% = $14.95

The new market price of the security can now be calculated as follows:

New market price of the security = Dividend / New discount rate = $14.95 / 33.90% = $44.10

Therefore, the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.

Suppose that the government has raised by​ $10 a​ per-carat tax rate it imposes on diamonds in an effort to influence production
RSB [31]
I think we should use macroeconomic analysis to analyze it. 
Macroeconomic analysis is used to analyze the policies that affect the economy on nation-wide level.
The tax rate that imposed by the government will definitely affect the total Gross Domestic Product for diamonds and affect the nation's economic scale.

Why are Social Security and Medicare spending expected to increase in the near future?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is always something like B. People born from 1946 - 1955 (those are just numbers), form the majority of the population. They have paid into the pool and they expect to draw out benefits. They have been doing so for at least 8 years.

Health failure is beginning to catch up to this age group and most have not saved for their retirement. Even home ownership is no guarantee that they have the resources to combat what health problems they are having. They need to draw on entitlements. Sooner or later, there won't be any.
