Answer:

a) check attachment below

b) Whenever we have  a portfolio whatsoever, that minimizes the variance of the portfolio is always preferred. Therefore, the portfolio of 50 stock is better than portfolio of 20 stocks which is as well better than the 10 stocks portfolio. The fund manager especially the mutual fund manager should not consider cutting down the number of stocks. If reducing the number of  stock is very urgent then he should probably consider reducing it down to  20 as it is variance is less than that of 10 stocks portfolio.

Assume for a perfectly competitive firm, the market price of one box of tissues is $2. What is the marginal revenue when sales i
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The marginal revenue = $2

Explanation:

Firstly we calculate the value in dollars for the number of boxes sold

For 100 boxes, we have 100 * 2 = $200

For 200 boxes, we have 200 * 2 = $400

Mathematically, the marginal revenue = (cost of 200 boxes- cost of 100 boxes)/difference in quantity

= (400-200)/(200-100) = 200/100 = $2

Thus affirms the fact that for a perfectly competitive firm, marginal revenue MR = P (price)
