You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 28%. The T-bill rate is 8%. Your

risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 25 % Stock B 32 % Stock C 43 % Suppose that your client decides to invest in your portfolio a proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 16%. a. What is the proportion y?

Answer:

y = 0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The expected rate of return for risky portfolio E(r_p) = 0.18

- The T-bill rate is r_f = 0.08

Find:

Investing proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 16%.

What is the proportion y?

Solution:

- The proportion y is a fraction of expected risky portfolio and the left-over for the T-bill compliance. Usually we see a major proportion is for risky portfolio as follows:

                                     E(r_c) = y*E(r_p) + (1 - y)*r_f

                                     y*E(r_p) + (1 - y)*r_f = 0.16

- Re-arrange for proportion y:

                                     y = ( 0.16 - r_f ) / (E(r_p) - r_f)

- Plug in values:

                                    y = ( 0.16 - 0.08 ) / (0.18 - 0.08)

                                    y = 0.80

- Hence, we see that 80% of the total investment budget becomes a part of risky portfolio returns.

How do you find x? and how do you round to the nearest tenth?
expeople1 [14]

Hey there!

In order to solve this problem, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is c^2 = a^2 + b^2. Since the Pythagorean Theorem would find only half of the length of x, we'll need to double it in the end.

First, let's plug in what we know to the Pythagorean Theorem: 2.1^2 = 1.4^2 + b^2

Next, we'll simplify to that b^2 is by itself:

b^2 = 2.45

Then, we'll find the square root of 2.45, multiply that by 2 and round to the nearest tenth:

2(\sqrt{2.45} ) = 3.1

Therefore, x = 3.1 ft.


How to round to the nearest tenth:

In a decimal, the tenth is the first number after the decimal point. To round to the tenth, if the number in the hundredth place is less than 5, you keep the number as it is, but if the number in the hundredth place is more than 5, you increase the number in the tenth place by 1.


Hope this helps!! :)

I need help with this question!!

Answer:

QR = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the parallelograms are similar then the corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

So AB / PQ = BC / QR

9/3 = 15 / QR

15 / QR = 3

QR = 15/3

= 5.  (answer)

Factor completely. <br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7B8%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B81%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="x^{8}-\fra

We have 3⁴ = 81, so we can factorize this as a difference of squares twice:

x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(x^2\right)^4 - \left(\dfrac13\right)^4 \\\\ x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(\left(x^2\right)^2 - \left(\dfrac13\right)^2\right) \left(\left(x^2\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac13\right)^2\right) \\\\ x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(x^2 - \dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + \dfrac13\right) \left(\left(x^2\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac13\right)^2\right) \\\\ x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(x^2 - \dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + \dfrac13\right) \left(x^4 + \dfrac19\right)

Depending on the precise definition of "completely" in this context, you can go a bit further and factorize x^2-\frac13 as yet another difference of squares:

x^2 - \dfrac13 = x^2 - \left(\dfrac1{\sqrt3}\right)^2 = \left(x-\dfrac1{\sqrt3}\right)\left(x+\dfrac1{\sqrt3}\right)

And if you're working over the field of complex numbers, you can go even further. For instance,

x^4 + \dfrac19 = \left(x^2\right)^2 - \left(i\dfrac13\right)^2 = \left(x^2 - i\dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + i\dfrac13\right)

But I think you'd be fine stopping at the first result,

x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \boxed{\left(x^2 - \dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + \dfrac13\right) \left(x^4 + \dfrac19\right)}
