<span>One potentially effective step in closing the pay gap that women can take immediately is to speak up, ask for more money in a form of a raise. There has always been talk and truth behind why men get paid more for doing the same job that a woman is. Unfortunately, in most companies this is truth. Women know this but accept the pay they are given, if they wish to see change, ask for change. </span>

Portfolio AB has half of its funds invested in Stock A and half in Stock B. Portfolio ABC has one third of its funds invested in

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a) Portfolio ABC's expected return is 10.66667%.

Explanation:

Some information is missing:

Stock Expected Standard Beta

return deviation

A 10% 20% 1.0

B 10% 10% 1.0

C 12% 12% 1.4

The expected return or portfolio AB = (1/2 x 10%) + (1/2 x 10%) = 10% (it is the same as the required rate for stock A or B)

The expected return or portfolio ABC = (weight of stock A x expected return of stock A) + (weight of stock B x expected return of stock B) + (weight of stock C x expected return of stock C) = (1/3 x 10%) + (1/3 x 10%) + (1/3 x 12%) = 3.333% + 3.333% + 4% = 10.667% <u>THIS IS CORRECT</u>

Options B, C, D and E are wrong.

Dave has $100,000 to invest in 10 mutual fund alternatives with the following restrictions. For diversification, no more than $2

Over [174]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Let the binary variables be: x1,x2,x3.....x10. If x1=0, no amount is invested in fund 1 and if it is 1 it means that an amount is invested. Let y1,y2.....y 10 be the variables for the amount invested.

Kindly check the first attached image for the table.

The objective is to maximize the return. Hence our objective function is: 6.7%*y1+7.65%*y2+7.55%*y3+7.45%*y4+7.5%*y5+6.45%*y6+7.05%*y7+6.9%*y8+5.2%*y9+5.9%*y10. This has to be maximized.

Constraints:

(i) y1,y2.....y10<=25,000 (no more than $25,000 can be invested in any one fund)

(ii) If x1=1, y1>=10,000, 0. This what if formula will be applicable for all the variables. (If a fund is chosen for investment, then at least $10,000 will be invested in it).

(iii) x1+x2+x3+x4<=2 (No more than two of the funds can be pure growth funds)

(iv) y9+y10>=y1+y2+y3+y4 (at least as much as the amount invested in pure amount invested in pure bond funds must be at least as much as the amount invested in pure growth funds)

(v) all x's are binary and all y's>=0. (vi) y1+y2+y3+y4....y10 = 100,000 (amount to be invested)

Solving in excel using the solver function the following solution is obtained:

Kindly check the second attached image for the table.

Thus the maximum return = $7056.25

Amount invested in different funds are:

Kindly check the Third attached image for the table.
