Given: 
Total population = 200 million
Labor force = 100 million
Employed workers = 92 million

To be considered unemployed, the person should be
(a) over 16 years of age,
(b) not working,
(c) was available for work within 4 weeks,
(d) made an effort to find work within 4 weeks.

Unemployed = 200 - 100 - 92 = 8 million

By definition, 
Unemployment rate = Unemployed / (Employed + Unemployed)
= 8/(100 + 8)
= 0.074
= 7.4%

Answer: 7.4%

You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 17% and a standard deviation of 29%. The T-bill rate is 8%. Your
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

13.85% and 18.9%

Explanation:

As in this exercise we have a free risk asset we will assume that the t-bill has a standard deviation of 0%, so let´s firts calculate the expected return:

E(r)=r_{1}*w_{1} +r_{2}*w_{2} +....+r_{n}*w_{n}

where E(r) is the expected return, r_{i} is the return of the i asset and w_{i} is the investment in i asset, so applying to this particular case we have:

E(r)=17\%*65\%+8\%*35\%

E(r)=13.85\%

the calculation of standar deviation follows the same logic of the previous formula:

Sigma(r)=29\%*65\%+0\%*35\%

Sigma(r)=18.9\%
