Answer:
B) Your portfolio has a beta equal to 1.6, and its expected return is 15%
Explanation:
Since the correlation coefficient between both stocks X and Y is zero, when one stock has an expected return a little higher than 15%, the other stock will have an expected return a little lower than 15%, so both variations basically cancel out each other. So the average expected return for both X and Y will be 15%.

d
Explanation:
Systemic risk are risk that are inherent in the economy. They cannot be diversified away. They are also known as market risk. examples of this risk include recession, inflation, and high interest rates. Investors should seek compensation for systemic risk.

Answer : If a child's hyperactivity rating is predicted to be 18, he <u>consumed 103.125 grams</u> of food containing preservatives.
The regression (least-squares) equation given in the question is:

In the equation above, y is the predicted variable. Here the predicted variable is the subjective hyperactivity rating (on a scale of 1 to 20).
The independent variable, x, is the quantity of food containing preservatives (in grams) consumed by hyperactive children.
The question tells us that the subjective hyperactivity rating of a child is 18.
Substituting the value of y in the equation above, we have,



Answer:
b. $2,580,000
Explanation:
The formula and the computation of the cost of goods manufactured is shown below:
= Direct materials used + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost + beginning work-in-process inventory - ending work-in-process inventory
= $780,000 + $900,000 + $720,000 + $1,080,000 - $900,000
= $2,580,000
The direct material used is
= Beginning raw material inventory + purchase made - ending raw material inventory
= $300,000 + $960,000 - $480,000
= $780,000
