Answer:

The correlation coefficient of the returns for the two stocks is 0.231

Explanation:

From the question given, we apply the method called co variance

Co variance is referred to as when the co-movement of variables are measured.  

The co variance is defined as:

ρ₁,₂=Cov₁,₂/σ₁ x σ₂

The Expected return of stock 1 μ1= 0.4 x 9+0.5 x 11+0.1 x 17=10.8%

The Expected return of stock 1 μ2=0.4 x 11+0.5 x 8+0.1 x 13=9.7%

The Variance of stock 1 σ²₁ is:

1 σ²₁=0.092 x 0.4+0.112 x 0.5+0.172 x 0.1−0.1082σ12=0.092 x 0.4+0.112 x 0.5+0.172 x 0.1−0.1082

=0.012180-0.011664 =0.000516

The standard deviation of stock 1 σ₁ =2√0.0005162 =0.022716 =2.2716%

Thus,

The Variance of stock 2 σ²₂ is:

2 σ²₂= 0.112 x 0.4+0.082 x 0.5+0.132 x 0.1−0.09722 =0.009730-0.009409=0.000321

The standard deviation of stock 2 σ₂ =2√0.000321 =0.017916=1.792%

Cov₁,₂=0.4 x (0.09−0.108)x (0.11−0.097)+0.5 x(0.11−0.108)x(0.08−0.097)+0.1 x(0.17−0.108)x(0.13 8)x(0.13−0.097) =-0.000094-0.000017+0.000205 =0.000094

Therefore,

ρ₁,₂=0.000094/((0.017916)x(0.022716)) =0.231

What is the effect on market when suppliers under invest in their businesses​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

  • Low supply
  • Scarcity
  • Low economic growth

Explanation:

When suppliers under invest in their business, they will end up having the capacity to only produce less than the market requires. Should this happen, supply will be reduced in the market which would lead to relative scarcity all else being equal.

For economic growth to happen, there must be increasing production in an economy so if suppliers are under investing and production is low, there might be low or no economic growth.
