Answer:

$y=2x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want to find an equation in slope-intercept form that is parallel to:

$y=2x+5$

And contains the point (4,5).

So to create the equation, we will need to slope and the y-intercept.

First, recall that parallel lines have the same slope. Since we want our equation to be parallel to y=2x+5, this means that the slope of the new equation must be 2.

Now, we can use the point-slope form to solve for the y-intercept. The point slope form is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Let (4,5) be x₁ and y₁. m is 2 since it's parallel to y=2x+5. Thus:

$y-5=2(x-4)\\$

Distribute:

$y-5=2x-8$

Add 5 to both sides:

$y=2x-3$

And that's our equation :)

\end{tabular}$

Part A:

The expected return on an equally weighted portfolio of these three stocks is given by:

$0.66[0.33 (0.09) + 0.33 (0.03) + 0.33(0.34)] \\ +0.34[0.33 (0.23) + 0.33(0.29) +0.33(-0.14)] \\ \\ =0.66(0.0297 + 0.0099 + 0.1122)+0.34(0.0759+0.0957-0.0462) \\ \\ =0.66(0.1518)+0.34(0.1254)=0.1002+0.0426=0.1428=\bold{14.28\%}$

Part B:

Value of a portfolio invested 21 percent each in A and B and 58 percent in C is given by

For boom: 0.21(0.09) + 0.21(0.03) + 0.58(0.34) = 0.0189 + 0.0063 + 0.1972 = 0.2224 or 22.24%.

For bust: = 0.21(0.23) + 0.21(0.29) + 0.58(-0.14) = 0.0483 + 0.0609 - 0.0812 = 0.028 or 2.8%

Expected return = 0.66(0.2224) + 0.34(0.028) = 0.1468 + 0.00952 = 0.1563 or 15.63%

The variance is given by

$0.66(0.2224-0.1563)^2+0.34(0.028-0.1563)^2 \\ \\ =0.66(0.0661)^2+0.34(-0.1283)^2=0.66(0.00437)+0.34(0.01646) \\ \\ =0.00288+0.0056=\bold{0.00848}$
