Abstract: Let $X_i$ be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables with an intermediate regularly varying (IR) right tail $$. Let $(N,C_1,\mathrm{...},C_N)$ be a nonnegative random vector independent of the $X_i$ with $NinmathbbNcupinfty$. We study the weighted random sum $S_N=su{m}_{i=1}^N{C}_i{X}_i$, and its maximum, $M_N=su{p}_{1leqk<N+1}su{m}_{i=1}^k{C}_i{X}_i$. These type of sums appear in the analysis of stochastic recursions, including weighted branching processes and autoregressive processes. In particular, we derive conditions under which ${\displaystyle }$P(M_N > x) sim P(S_N > x) sim E[sum_{i=1}^N �ar{F}(x/C_i)],${\displaystyle }$ as $xoinfty$. When $E[X_1]>0$ and the distribution of $Z_N=su{m}_{i=1}^N{C}_i$ is also IR, we obtain the asymptotics ${\displaystyle }$P(M_N > x) sim P(S_N > x) sim E[sum_{i=1}^N �ar{F}(x/C_i)] + P(Z_N > x/E[X_1]).${\displaystyle }$ For completeness, when the distribution of $Z_N$ is IR and heavier than $$, we also obtain conditions under which the asymptotic relations ${\displaystyle }$P(M_N > x) sim P(S_N > x) sim P(Z_N > x/E[X_1])${\displaystyle }$ hold.
