Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a. The answers are as follows:

(i) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 4%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0

(ii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 6.25%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.25

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

Answer:

Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS)

Explanation:

FMS stands for the Flexible manufacturing systems, which is described as the method of production, which is designed in order to adapt the changes in the kind and the quantity of the product which is being manufactured.

The computerized systems and the machines could be configured to manufacture the variety of the parts and handle the production changing levels.

Therefore, the FMS is the one which is a single production system that combines the CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) and the electronic machines.

Karissa works for a company that sells sour cream. Sales are down, so she begins a research project. First, she develops a hypot

lubasha [3.4K]

The next step for Karissa is to collect data.

<h3>What are the steps involved in a research project?</h3>

Locating and defining issues or problems is the first step:

The goal of this stage is to define the parameters of a situation or subject that needs to be resolved or researched. The researcher should consider the study's objectives, pertinent prior knowledge, the information that is required, and how the information will be used in decision-making when describing the issues or problems.

Creating the research project is step two:

This step focuses on developing a research strategy or overarching approach to how you will address the stated issue or problem. A framework or blueprint for carrying out a research undertaking is a research strategy or approach. It describes the steps required to get the needed data, and its goal is to create a study that will test the relevant hypotheses, find potential solutions to the research problems, and offer the data required for making decisions.

Data Collection is the third step:

This step focused on gathering the data you'll need to address the issue or problem you identified. Experiments, observations, human interviews, telephone or computer-assisted telephone interviews from an office, and postal surveys are all possible methods for gathering data.

Analyzing Research Data is the fourth step:

In this step, the research findings will be interpreted, examined, and analyzed in order to reach a conclusion that resolves the problem. Make sure the conclusion is clear and well-thought-out in light of the information gathered.

Present Your Research Results is step five:

Reporting the research results to individuals who require the information to make decisions is the last stage. The findings ought to be presented in an understandable way so that decision-makers can quickly utilize them. In order to increase impact and clarity, a spoken presentation to management should also include tables, figures, and graphs.

You have a credit card balance of $53.00 from the previous month. You have $172.45 in new purchases and you made a payment of $5

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

$50

Explanation:

As per previous balance method the Interest is charged based on the opening balance of the Credit Card.

As $50 was the balance from previous month and opening balance for this month, Hence $50 would be the amount we would use to calculate the interest for this month.
