Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

The statement given above says that bond prices vary inversely with changes in market interest rate. It means that there is an inverse relationship between bond prices and the market interest rate.

In other words, when the market interest rate falls, the bond prices will rise and when there is an increase in market interest rate, the bond prices will fall. The bond price and market rate of interest are negatively related.

A. Identify a profession b. In not more than 60 words, describe the "art" and "science" of such profession in (a).

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Comedy as a Profession is a great example.

Explanation:

The science of it is related to the psychology of what makes people laugh.

If studied, one would realize that there are certain things that are bound to make people laugh (all things being equal). An example is when a person makes fun of themself to an audience.

To explain this, scientists have stated that it is inherent in humans to laugh at the misfortune of others. However, this is just a theory and does not explain why we laugh at other kinds of comedy.

A plausible explanation (which is more recent in the parlance of psychology) is that people also laugh when certain expectations are defied in a very witty manner.

As a professional stand-up comedian, knowing all the rules and tricks is just one part of the coin. Being able to, either by practice or repeated efforts during practice, internalize these principles, practice them and effectively use them is the artistic part of the picture.

There those who are gifted naturally with a principle thought process that elicits laughter from others, would be termed hilarious. However, to make a living out of comedy, one would need to fully understand the principles and practice to deliver them as naturally as possible.

Another paradigm to the art of comedy is that, it has to be very witty. Wit many times may come with an element of suprise... a new angle that was previously "unthought" of.

Cheers!

Consider a portfolio of stocks X, Y, Z whose returns in various economic conditions are set forth below.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The expected return is 10.95%

Explanation:

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF X

State _____Probability __X_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______22% ___5.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______15% ___ 9.00%

Recession _0.15 _______5% ___ 0.75%

Total ______________________15.25%

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF Y

State _____Probability __Y_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______10% ___ 2.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______9% ____5.40%

Recession _0.15 _______8% ___ 1.20%

Total ______________________9.10%

Now calculate the weighted average return based on investment in each portfolio

Expected return = ( Expected return of Assets X x Weight of Asset X ) + ( Expected return of Assets Y x Weight of Asset Y )

Expected return = ( 15.25% x $3000/$10000 ) + ( 9.10% x $7000/$10000 )

Expected return = 4.575% + 6.370%

Expected return = 10.945%

Expected return = 10.95%
