Grace [21]

Answer:

B. Holly's statement is normative, but Ben's is positive.

Explanation:

Positive statements are based on objective deduction of what is, or was. It is based on facts. Ben's comment "an increase in the tax on beer will raise its price", is an example of positive statement.

Normative statements are subjective and based on individual values and judgement. In her statement Holly appears to be biased against drinking much. She says "taxes should be increased on beer because college students drink too much." Is a normative statement.

Asset A and B have expected returns of 5% and 3% per year respectively. Their annual volatilities are both 20% and the correlati

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

1. Weight of A=0.5, Weight of B= 0.5

2. Asset A has the highest shape ratio. The weight of A and B in the optimal risky portfolio that has the highest shape ratio is:

Weight of A= 0.105, Weight of B= 0.895

Explanation:

Expected return of Asset A= 5%Expected return of Asset A= 5%

Expected return of Asset B= 3%

Annual volatilities of Asset A= 20%

Annual votalities of Asset B= 20%

1. Correlation coefficient = 30% = 0.3 < 1

Risk Free Rate = 1% =0.01

1. Weight of A and B in portfolio with minimal risk is:

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Therefore,

CovXAXB = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.3 × 0.2 × 0.2

= 0.012

Hence,

Weight of A= (0.2)^2 - 0.012 / (0.2)^2 + (0.2)^2 - 2(0.012)

Weight of A= 0.04 - 0.012 / 0.04 + 0.04 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.08 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.056

=0.5

Weight of A = 0.5

Weight of B= 1 - Weight of A

Weight of B= 1 - 0.5

Weight of B= 0.5

2. Shape ratio of A= RA - Rf / β

= 0.05 - 0.01 / 2

= 0.04/2

= 0.02 =20%

Shape ratio of B= RB - Rf / β

= 0.03 - 0.01/ 2

0.02 / 2

=0.01 = 10%

So, Asset A has the highest shape ratio

Cov (XAXB) = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.03 × 0.2 × 0.1

= 0.006

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Weight of A = (0.1)^2 - 0.006 / (0.2)^2 + (0.1)^2 - 2(0.006)

= 0.01 - 0.006 / 0.04 +0.01 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.05 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.038

= 0.105

Weight of A = 0.105

Weight of B= 1 - 0.105

Weight of B= 0.895

Ann works 5 1/2 hours, Mary works 6 1/3 hours, and John works 4 1/4 hours. How many combined hours have they worked?

Luden [163]

16 1/12 hours. To make it easier add up all the whole numbers first then find the common denominator, which is 12. Turn all the fractions into fractions with the denominator of 12 add those up and you shall get 16 1/12.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Supplies expense A/c Dr $1,700

To Supplies A/c $1,700

(Being supplies account is adjusted)

The supplies expense is computed below

= Purchase value of supplies - supplies on hand at year end

= $2,100 - $400

= $1,700

For recording, this given transaction we debited the supplies expense account as the remaining balance is transferred to supplies expense and credited the supplies account
