You are considering how to invest part of your retirement savings. You have decided to put $ 400 comma 000 into three stocks: 51 % of the money in GoldFinger (currently $ 20/share), 19 % of the money in Moosehead (currently $ 90/share), and the remainder in Venture Associates (currently $ 6/share). Suppose GoldFinger stock goes up to $ 38/share, Moosehead stock drops to $ 60/share, and Venture Associates stock rises to $ 13 per share. a. What is the new value of the portfolio?b. What return did the portfolio earn?

The new value of the portfolio = $698266.4

The return that the portfolio earn = 74.57%

Explanation:

GIven that;

Retirement amount = $400,000

Number of shares in GoldFinger = 51% of the 400,000/20

Number of shares in GoldFinger =  0.51 × 400000/20

Number of shares in GoldFinger = 10,200

Number of shares in Moosehead = 19% of 400,000/90

Number of shares in Moosehead = 0.19  × 400000/90

Number of shares in Moosehead = 844.44

Number of shares in Venture Associates = (1- (51%+19%) of 400000/6

Number of shares in Venture Associates = (1- (0.70) × 400000/6

Number of shares in Venture Associates = 0.30  × 400000/6

Number of shares in Venture Associates = 20000

∴

(a)

The new value of the portfolio = (10200 × 38 )+( 844.44 × 60) + (20000 × 13)

The new value of the portfolio = $698266.4

(b) the return that the portfolio earn =  (new value of the portfolio - retirement savings)/retirement savings

the return that the portfolio earn =  (698266.4  - 400000)/400000

the return that the portfolio earn = 0.7457

the return that the portfolio earn = 74.57%

24 years, i believe is the correct answer.

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
