Answer:

a. The return predicted by CAPM for a portfolio with a beta of 1.4 is 11.88%

b. The alpha of portfolio A is -3.68%

Explanation:

The formula for computing the return by Capital Assets Pricing Method (CAPM) model.

Expected return = Risk Free rate + (Beta × Market Risk Premium)

where,

Market risk premium = market return - risk free rate

Now, putting the values in the above equation

a. Expected return = 0.06 + 1.4 × (0.102 - 0.06)

= 0.06 + 1.4 × 0.042

= 0.06 + 0.0588

= 0.1188

= 11.88 %

Thus, the return predicted by CAPM for a portfolio with a beta of 1.4 is 11.88%.

b. The alpha should be = Portfolio expected return - expected return

                                      = 8.20 - 11.88 %

                                      = -3.68%

Thus, the alpha of portfolio A is -3.68%

____ [38]

Explanation:

The adjusting entry is as follows

Insurance expense A/c Dr  $4,800

           To Prepaid insurance A/c  $4,800

(Being the insurance expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= Beginning balance + debited amount - unexpired insurance amount

= $6,600 + $2,300 - $4,100

= $4,800

So while preparing the adjusting entry, we debited the insurance expense account and credited the prepaid insurance account

If a firm is producing an output level for which marginal revenue is less than marginal cost;
sdas [7]

Suppose Russia produces only trucks and cars. The resources that are used in the production of these two goods are not specializ
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Remains constant

Explanation:

Since the same set of resources are useful in producing both cars and trucks, it shows that resources are not specialized hence Russia has a straight line PPC. A straight line (linear) PPC connotes constant returns to scale. In this case, resources are mobile and can easily be reallocated and redirected from the production  of one good to another thus, opportunity cost is constant and so is the marginal rate of transformation (MRT). The MRT is the number of units or amount of a good that must be foregone in order to attain one unit of another.  If Russia decides to produce more cars and fewer trucks, the resources deployed in producing more cars would be well suited as the resources already used in car production. The opportunity cost in producing each additional unit of car remains constant as more cars are produced.

The slope of a linear PPC determines the marginal rate of transformation; that is, a flatter slope would mean producing more cars requires trading-off fewer trucks while a steeper slope would mean that producing more cars requires trading-off more trucks.
