Answer:

A. 9,000 units

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break even point is shown below:

= (Fixed cost) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

where,  

New Fixed costs = $20,000 + $13,750 = $33,750

And, the contribution margin per unit would be

= $2.50 + $2.50 × 50%

= $2.50 + $1.25

= $3.75

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the units would be equal to

= $33,750 ÷ $3.75

= 9,000 units

What is the var of a 10 million portfolio with normally distributed returns at the 5% VaR? Assume the expected return is 13% and
Kitty [74]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. VaR = Expected return - z × Standard deviation  

= 13% - 1.645 × 20%

= -19.90%

Therefore the option a is the correct answer.

2) Now the correlation coefficient is

Variance of the portfolio  = (weight of A × Standard deviation 1)^2 + (weight of B × Standard deviation 2)^2 + (2 × weight of A × weight of B × Standard deviation 1 × Standard deviation 2 × correlation 1 and 2)

3.80% = (60% × 24%)^2 + (40% × 18%)^2 + (2 × 60% × 40% × 24% × 18% × correlation 1 and 2)

So the correlation is 0.583
