Leni [432]

Answer:

<em>Employee stock ownership plan</em>

Explanation:

An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is <em>a retirement plan wherein the employer contributes its shares (or funds to purchase its stock) to the fund for the advantage of the employees of the company.</em>

The company maintains an account for every employee who participates in the program.

Over time stock shares accumulate before an employee is eligible to them.

With an ESOP, while still working with the company, you never purchase or keep the stock directly.

If an employee is fired, decides to retire, is disabled, or dies, the company must transfer the stock shares in the account of the employee.

Suppose you are currently invested 100% in U.S. stocks and you CANNOT short: a.Find the portfolio that maximizes expected return

Volgvan

Answer:

Part a: The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Explanation:

As the question is incomplete and the data is not available, thus the complete question is found as attached with the solution.

The Sharpe rate is given as

$S_a=\frac{E_a-E_r}{\sigma}$

Where

E_a is the estimated rate of return for a value
E_r is the risk free rate of return
σ is the standard deviation of the investment.

The portfolio variance is given as

$\sigma^2_{portfolio}=\sum_{i}^{n}{\sigma_i^2w_i^2}+\sum_{i}^{n(n-1)/2}{cv_i}$

Where

σ is the standard deviation of the investment.
w is the weighted value of the investment
cv is the covariance term

Portfolio standard deviation is given as

$\sigma_{portfolio}=\sqrt{\sigma^2_{portfolio}}$

Expected rate is given as

$E_{rate of return}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{E_a_i\times w_i}$

Now the Sharp value is calculated as above.

Now the values as given in the excel sheet are added in the attached excel sheet, following formulas are used to calculate various values

Sharpe ratio is calculated using =(B6-J3)/C6

Portfolio variance is calculated using (=B13^2*C6^2+B14^2*C7^2+B15^2*C8^2+B16^2*C9^2+2*B13*B14*C6*C7*D7+2*B13*B15*C6*C8*D8+2*B13*B16*C6*C9*D9+2*B14*B15*C7*C8*E8+2*B14*B16*C7*C9*E9+2*B15*B16*C8*C9*F9)

Portfolio standard deviation is SQRT(Variance)

Expected return is calculated using =B13*B6+B14*B7+B15*B8+B16*B9

Sharpe is calculated using =(B23-$J$3)/B22

Part a:

The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:

The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Positioning strategies

Explanation:

In business , positioning strategies refers to the efforts that a company can do to influence some sort of perception toward their brands.

In the example above, Markup artfully arranged his products and priced to indicate product rarity in upscale neighborhood.

He did this because for customers with high economic power, presentation of a certain product will create the perception that owning that product indicates high social status. This probably held more value compared to the actual use function of the product itself.

On the other hand, he left his products in open boxes and placed haphazardly on shelves when targeting customers with lower income. He did this because among customers with lower income, presentation tend to matter less compared to the actual function of thier brand.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

D) The Agency Problem

Explanation:

The agency problem refers to a conflict of interests between the principal and his/her agent. Agents have a fiduciary duty to act on the best interest of their principal, but sometimes agents place their own personal interest before the interests of their principal.

in this case, the brokers should act on behalf of their clients to make them earn the largest possible profits, but instead they focus on convincing them about transactions that increased the broker's profit and not the clients'.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The option for this question are the following:

A. Concurrent

B. Statistical

C. Inventory

D. Feedforward

The correctt answer is D. Feed forward.

Explanation:

Feedforward is the process by which feedback between company members focuses more on future possibilities. That is to say, it is not only about communicating but about doing it thinking about increasing the opportunities that the company has and will be able to have later.

The problem we had when we talked about feedback was that it focused on aspects of the past. Communication was thought of as something of the moment, without determining an intention to take it to another level. The ‘feed’ forward would come into play here.

What is intended with the feedforward is to establish links and ideas, so that teamwork makes business organization easier. Brainstorming and the sharing of solutions and aspects for the company mean that employees can aspire to a positive work future.
