Answer:
1) Flitcom Corp (Beta = 0.60)
2) Tobotics Inc. (s.d. = 11%)
Explanation:
1. Suppose all stocks in Ariel's portfolio were equally weighted. Which of these stocks would contribute the least market risk to the portfolio?
The indicator of the market risk is the Beta. It relates the variation of the price or value of the stock relative to the variation of the total stocks in the market.
The value of Beta indicates how risky is a stock relative to the risk of the market. A Beta =1 means it has the same systemic risk as the market. If Beta<1, the stock is less volatile than the market, and if Beta>1, it is more volatile than the market.
Then, the stock with less value of Beta will contribute the least risk to the portfolio.
This is the case of Flitcom Corp (Beta=0.60)
2. Suppose all stocks in the portfolio were equally weighted. Which of these stocks would have the least amount of stand-alone risk?
The stand-alone is reflected by the standard deviation. The less the standard deviation, the less risk of the stock (measured only the stock variability).
This is the case of Tobotics Inc. (s.d. = 11%)
Pn = P0(1+r)∧n
Pnis future value of P0
P0 is original amount invested
r is the rate of interest
n is the number of compounding periods (years, months, etc.)
P(n) = 2250(1+(.03/4)∧8
** since the interest is compounding quarterly, you need to divide the rate by 4, the number of quarters in a year.
Then you would do the math.
Answer:
The <em>covenant of good faith and fair dealing</em> simply requires all the parties to a contract to deal in an even-handed manner such that one party's action does not frustrate the other or prevent the other from getting the benefits of that contract.
In insurance, this covenant is sometimes captured under the heading <em>Uberrima fides</em>. This is a Latin phrase meaning <em>"Utmost Good Faith".</em>
In insurance, this covenant is legally binding on all parties to ensure they each reveal every information that is material to the acceptance or rejection of the risk (on the part of the Insurer) whilst on the part of the Insured the insurer is required to be explicit regarding the terms of the policy as well as the calculations by which the premium is arrived at.
For example, if an Insurance company is looking at covering someone under it's Life Insurance Policy, the person taking out the contract must disclose whether or not the Insured has any latent health issues which might shorten their lifespan. If there is such a condition, the Insurance company may still take on the risk albeit at a relatively higher rate than a client without such medical conditions.
An Insurance Company may breach this covenant if they delay or refuse to reasonable settle claims due to the Insured. It may also arise if the Insurance company by some technical manipulation intentionally under settles an Insurance claim.
If for instance, a Comprehensive Insurance Policy files a valid claim, the Insurer may be liable for negligence and or intentional wrongdoing.
Cheers!
Answer:
Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.
Explanation:
From the question, we have the following restated equation:
Where q is the output, and L and K are inputs
To determine the types of returns to scale, we increase each of L and K inputs by constant amount c as follows:
We can now solve as follows;
Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.
