The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
Answer:
Horizontal merger
Explanation:
The merger of two firms producing personal computers is an example of a horizontal merger
A horizontal merger is a merger or business collaboration that happens between firms that operate in the same industry. The products being sold are similar and in the same market
The appropriate labels for Curves N and M in the nearby graph is that the Curve N is total cost and Curve M is total variable cost.
<h3>Why is the curve as stated about?</h3>
Because a fixed cost is constant, this is not shown on the graph, however, the movement of the variable cost impacts directly on the total cost as well but it will be higher.
Hence, the appropriate labels for Curves N and M in the nearby graph is that the Curve N is total cost and Curve M is total variable cost.
Therefore, the Option C is correct.

I believe the answer is d., the federal budget.
Answer:
(A) -5/6
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price
% change in quantity demanded = (60-40)/40 × 100 = 20/40 × 100 = 50%
% change in price = ($6-$15)/$15 × 100 = -$9/$15 × 100 = -60%
Price elasticity of demand = 50% ÷ -60% = -5/6
