Answer:

The correct answer is profit of $2.3 by selling it in Mexico.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

In the United states Cost of shoes = $45

In Mexico, Cost of Shoes = 430 Pesos ( where $0.1100 = 1 pesos)

So, 430 Pesos = 430 × $0.1100 = $47.3

So, we can calculate the profit to sell in Mexico as follows:

Profit to sell in Mexico  = Sell price in Mexico - Sell price in US

= $47.3 - $45

= $2.3

So, the arbitrage opportunity exist by buying the shoes in Pesos and selling it in Mexico, one can make a profit of $2.3 per shoes.

Answer:

6.11%

Explanation:

For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:

= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy)  + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)

= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%)  + (2% × 10%)  

= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%

= 9.30%

Now the variance would equal to the

= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2

For boom:

= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.3645

For normal economy:

= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.4165

For recession:

= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2

= 5.329

So, the total variance would be

= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329

= 6.11%
