The expression 1.08s+1.02b predicts the end-of-year value of a financial portfolio where s is the value of stocks and b is the value of bonds in the portfolio at the beginning of the year.What is the predicted end-of-year value of a portfolio that begins the year with $200 in stocks and $100 in bonds?$
Q. The expression 1.08s+1.02b predicts the end-of-year value of a financial portfolio where s is the value of stocks and b is the value of bonds in the portfolio at the beginning of the year.What is the predicted end-of-year value of a portfolio that begins the year with $200 in stocks and $100 in bonds?$
Identify Values: Identify the values given for stocks and bonds at the beginning of the year.Stocks at the beginning of the year s: $200Bonds at the beginning of the year b: $100The expression to calculate the end-of-year value is 1.08s+1.02b.
Substitute Given Values: Substitute the given values into the expression.End-of-year value = 1.08×($200)+1.02×($100)
Perform Calculations: Perform the calculations for each part of the expression.Calculate the value from stocks: 1.08×($200)=($216)Calculate the value from bonds: 1.02×($100)=($102)
Calculate Total Value: Add the calculated values to find the total end-of-year value of the portfolio.Total end-of-year value = $216 (from stocks) + $102 (from bonds) = $318
