Answer: A portfolio containing 30 randomly selected stocks will have the smallest standard deviation.
Explanation:
A portfolio containing 30 randomly selected stocks tend to have a lesser covariance between the security returns. Also, there will be increased diversification. This increased diversification lowers the risk of portfolio thereby resulting in a lower standard deviation.
Other options are not correct. A portfolio consisting of 30 energy stocks will have a higher level of covariance between the security returns. Therefore, the standard deviation is lower.
A coefficient of variance greater than one will have a high level of variance while a coefficient variance less than 1 has a lower level of variance. A lesser covariance will result to a lower standard deviation and vice-versa.
Answer: The two dimensions of the competing values framework are the internal focus and imagination and the flexibility and discretion.
Explanation: There are 2 dimensions but 4 models within the competing values framework. The reason this model is called the competing models framework is because each model conflicts the message of another. These framework models do not agree and often times compete for what the best option to make is.

Answer: The supply of the loan able funds would decrease and so would it demand. It will also decrease.
<u>Explanation:</u>
With the decrease in the saving for the retirement purposes, the demand of the consumers would decrease for loan able funds. If the businesses also decrease the savings for new plant and machinery, it would decrease their demand for loan able funds.
Because of the decrease in the demand, the supply of the loan able funds will also decrease. But the effect of this on the real interest rates can not be said to be in a certain manner. It is uncertain.
Question is incomplete as the cost of the sidewalk is not given :
Assume the sidewalk cost an additional $6 per foot.
Answer:
$8366
Explanation:
Given that :
Size of porch = 16 by 18 feets
Area of porch = (16 * 18) = 288 ft²
Cost per ft² = $27
Cost of porch = ($27 * 288) = $7,776
Sidewalk = 15feets
Cost per foot = $6
Cost of sidewalk = ($6 * 15) = $90
Cost of gate = $500
Total cost :
(cost of porch area + side walk + gate)
($7776 + $90 + $500) = $8366
Kindly note that the cost pwr foot of sidewalk was erroneously excluded and the value employed for the cost was only assumed.
