Suppose you are currently invested 100% in U.S. stocks and you CANNOT short: a.Find the portfolio that maximizes expected return
Volgvan

Answer:

Part a: The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Explanation:

As the question is incomplete and the data is not available, thus the complete question is found as attached with the solution.

The Sharpe rate is given as

S_a=\frac{E_a-E_r}{\sigma}

Where

  1. E_a is the estimated rate of return for a value
  2. E_r is the risk free rate of return
  3. σ is the standard deviation of the investment.

The portfolio variance is given as

\sigma^2_{portfolio}=\sum_{i}^{n}{\sigma_i^2w_i^2}+\sum_{i}^{n(n-1)/2}{cv_i}

Where

  1. σ is the standard deviation of the investment.
  2. w is the weighted value of the investment
  3. cv is the covariance term

Portfolio standard deviation is given as

\sigma_{portfolio}=\sqrt{\sigma^2_{portfolio}}

Expected rate is given as

E_{rate of return}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{E_a_i\times w_i}

Now the Sharp value is calculated as above.

Now the values as given in the excel sheet are added in the attached excel sheet,  following formulas are used to calculate various values

Sharpe ratio is calculated using =(B6-J3)/C6

Portfolio variance is calculated using (=B13^2*C6^2+B14^2*C7^2+B15^2*C8^2+B16^2*C9^2+2*B13*B14*C6*C7*D7+2*B13*B15*C6*C8*D8+2*B13*B16*C6*C9*D9+2*B14*B15*C7*C8*E8+2*B14*B16*C7*C9*E9+2*B15*B16*C8*C9*F9)

Portfolio standard deviation is SQRT(Variance)

Expected return is calculated using =B13*B6+B14*B7+B15*B8+B16*B9

Sharpe is calculated using =(B23-$J$3)/B22

Part a:

The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:

The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Which of the following statements best reflects a price-taking firm? a The firm has an incentive to charge less than the market
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

A price taking firm is a firm that must sell at the price determined by the forces of demand and supply. This is typical of firms that in industries that sell identical products.

If the firm charges a price higher than equilibrium price, customers would go to other suppliers and the firm would sell known of its product.

There would be no incentive for a firm to sell below equilibrium price because it would be earning losses.

An example of an industry characterised by price taking firms are perfectly competitive industries.

For example, a farmer selling oranges is an example of a price taking firm
