barxatty [35]

Answer:

9.88%

Explanation:

Calculation for the expected return on the portfolio

First step is to find Total portfolio vale using this formula

Total portfolio vale=(Stock A portfolio + Stock B portfolio)

Let plug in the formula

Total portfolio vale= (2,650+4,450)

Total portfolio vale= 7,100

Second step is to calculate for the Expected portfolio return of Stock A by dividing Stock A portfolio by the Total portfolio vale then multiply it by the expected returns percentage

Expected portfolio return Stock A = 2,650 / 7,100

Expected portfolio return Stock A = 0.3732 *0.08

Expected portfolio return Stock A =0.02986

The third step is to calculate for the Expected portfolio return of Stock B by dividing Stock B portfolio by the Total portfolio vale then multiply it by the expected returns percentage

Expected portfolio return Stock B=$4,450/$7,100

Expected portfolio return Stock B=0.6268 *0.11 Expected portfolio return Stock B= 0.06895

The last step is add up the expected return on the portfolio for both Stock A and Stock B

Using this formula

Expected return on the portfolio=(Stock A Expected return on the portfolio + Stock B Expected return on the portfolio)

Let plug in the formula

Expected return on the portfolio=0.02986+0.06895

Expected return on the portfolio= 0.0988 *100 Expected return on the portfolio= 9.88%

Therefore the expected return on the portfolio will be 9.88%

siniylev [52]

Answer:

a. Meitneria will import textiles from Seaboria and export heavy machinery to it.

Explanation:

The Heckscher-Ohlin theory states that a country has to export what it can produce efficiently according to the factors of production that the country has and import the products that the country is not able to manufacture efficiently. According to this, the answer is that in this situation, according to the Heckscher-Ohlin theory Meitneria will import textiles from Seaboria and export heavy machinery to it as Meitneria doesn't produce textiles which forces the country to import them and they specialize on heavy machinery which allows them to export it to Seaboria as this country doesn't have the technology to manufacture it.

We run a delivery service, and we believe our firm has market risk equally between that of UPS and FedEx. We know the following

mixer [17]

Answer:

The answer is "0.85 "

Explanation:

In order to locate a beta of the company, we must find the average beta of unlevered UPS and FedEx and find a levered beta of the company.

Price Outstanding shares(Billion) Market valu of equity(Billion) Market value of debt(billions) D/E Ratio

UPS 65 0.7 45.5 5 0.1099

FedEx 55 0.25 13.75 3 0.2182

$Unlevered \ beta= \frac{levered \ beta}{(1+((1- tax rate)\times(\frac{Debt}{Equity})))}$

taxes desn't matter , given in the question so, assumed to be 0

$Unlevered \ beta \ for \ UPS= \frac{0.8}{1+(1-0)\times (0.1099)}$

$= \frac{0.8}{1+(1)\times (0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1+(0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1.1099}\\\\=0.72$

$Unlevered \ beta \ for \ FedEx= \frac{1.1}{1+(1-0)\times (0.2182)}$

$= \frac{1.1}{1+(1)\times (0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1+(0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1.2182}\\\\=0.90$

$Average \ Unlevered \ beta = \frac{0.72+0.90}{2}$

$= \frac{1.62}{2}\\\\=0.81$

$\text{levered beta of the delivery service firm }= unlevered \ beta \times(1+(1-taxes) \times (\frac{debt}{equity}))$

$= 0.81 \times (1+(1-0)\times (\frac{20}{450})\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(1)\times (0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1.04)\\\\=0.85$
