<u>Zero based budget the best method of budgeting - Reason:</u>

Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is a budgeting method where all expenses of each new phase have to be justified. The zero-based budgeting process beginning at zero bases and each component is examined for its requirements and expenses within an organization.

Zero-based budgeting can help to reduce costs by preventing massive increases or reduced to expenditure for the subsequent period. But this has taken far more time than conventional cost-based budgeting. It’s a time-consuming process.

It is also a case of actual revenue because their contributions are easier to justify than in customer services and R&D departments.

Suppose you are currently invested 100% in U.S. stocks and you CANNOT short: a.Find the portfolio that maximizes expected return

Volgvan

Answer:

Part a: The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Explanation:

As the question is incomplete and the data is not available, thus the complete question is found as attached with the solution.

The Sharpe rate is given as

$S_a=\frac{E_a-E_r}{\sigma}$

Where

E_a is the estimated rate of return for a value
E_r is the risk free rate of return
σ is the standard deviation of the investment.

The portfolio variance is given as

$\sigma^2_{portfolio}=\sum_{i}^{n}{\sigma_i^2w_i^2}+\sum_{i}^{n(n-1)/2}{cv_i}$

Where

σ is the standard deviation of the investment.
w is the weighted value of the investment
cv is the covariance term

Portfolio standard deviation is given as

$\sigma_{portfolio}=\sqrt{\sigma^2_{portfolio}}$

Expected rate is given as

$E_{rate of return}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{E_a_i\times w_i}$

Now the Sharp value is calculated as above.

Now the values as given in the excel sheet are added in the attached excel sheet, following formulas are used to calculate various values

Sharpe ratio is calculated using =(B6-J3)/C6

Portfolio variance is calculated using (=B13^2*C6^2+B14^2*C7^2+B15^2*C8^2+B16^2*C9^2+2*B13*B14*C6*C7*D7+2*B13*B15*C6*C8*D8+2*B13*B16*C6*C9*D9+2*B14*B15*C7*C8*E8+2*B14*B16*C7*C9*E9+2*B15*B16*C8*C9*F9)

Portfolio standard deviation is SQRT(Variance)

Expected return is calculated using =B13*B6+B14*B7+B15*B8+B16*B9

Sharpe is calculated using =(B23-$J$3)/B22

Part a:

The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:

The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Normative and positive statements

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Normative

Positive

Normative

Positive

Explanation:

Positive Economics is objective and statements are usually based on facts and economic theory. They can be tested.

For example, the statement , In some circumstances, if taxes are lowered,

government revenues actually increase, can be tested and it has it basis in economic theory

Normative economics is based value judgements, opinions and perspectives. For example, the statement - taxes are too high - is based on opinion. To some it is too high while to others it would be too low
