Answer:
(2) 4%
Explanation:
The portfolio is considered to be less risky if its volatility is low. The higher standard deviation the more risky is the project. For Duke Energy and Microsoft the investment portfolio required is risk free investment. To calculate the risk free rate we calculate using the formula;
Var Rp = x1 2Var R1 + x2 2Var R2 +2 x1 x2 Corr (R1, R2) SD1 SD2
Var Rp = 0.14 + 0.44 + 2 (1) * (-1) * 6% * 24%
Solving for this we get the risk free investment at 4%.

Answer:
The journal entry upon issuance of the bond is as follows:
Dr Cash $100,000
Cr Bonds payable $100,000
to record issuance of bond for cash
Journal entry for semi-annual interest
Dr Interest expense $6000
Cr Cash $6000
Being payment of bond semi-annual interest
Explanation:
Upon issuance of the bond with face value and issue price of $100,000, the cash position of the Police company increases by $100,000, hence the cash account should receive a debit of $100,000, but the issue also implies increased debt obligation, as a result , the bonds payable account is also credited with the same amount.
Concerning, the interest payment, which is an outflow of cash, the cash account is credited and the interest expense account is debited as an increase in expense.
The amount of interest is $6000(6%*$100,000).
2.13% or 2 2/15%
The assessed value of all the property is $400,000,000. But $25,000,000 worth is exempted, leaving $400,000,000 - $25,000,000 = $375,000,000 worth of taxable property. Now we need to get $8,000,000 worth of taxes, so we simply divide the required income by the taxable property. So $8,000,000 / $375,000,000 = 0.021333333 = 2.1333333%
Now let's see if we can convert that 0.13333 portion into an exact fraction so that the Village of Goodsprings doesn't have to round up to 2.14% and doesn't loose that small amount of income by rounding down to 2.13%.
x = 0.133333...
10x = 1.33333...
- x -0.13333
9x = 1.2
90x = 12
x = 12/90 = 2/15
