a.

Summary Introduction

Adequate information:

Standard deviation (σ) for both markets = 10%

Expected return on every security in both markets = 10%

Beta factor in the first market (ß1) = 1.5

Beta factor in the second market (ß2) = 0.5

The return for each security, i, in the first market = R1i=0.10+1.5F+ε1i

The return for each security, j, in the second market = R2j=0.10+0.5F+ε2i

To compute: The market that would be preferred by risk-averse to invest.

Introduction: Portfolio variance refers to the measurement of the dispersion of returns. Standard deviation refers to the measurement of deviation of actual returns from average returns.

PROBLEM 2 On July 1, 2022, LTU Contracting, Inc. purchased a new Peiner SK575 Tower Crane for a total cost of $875,000. The crane has an estimated useful life of five (5) years. For financial reporting (book) purposes, the company utilizes straight line depreciation. For tax purposes, the equipment is depreciated over five years utilizing the 200% declining balance method.
