Given the following information:

\begin{tabular}
{|p{1.5cm}|p{1.5cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|}
\multicolumn{1}{|p{1.5cm}|}{State of economy}\multicolumn{1}{|p{2.6cm}|}{Probability of State of economy}\multicolumn{3}{|p{4.8cm}|}{Rate of Return if State Occurs}\\[1ex] 
\multicolumn{1}{|p{1.5cm}|}{}\multicolumn{1}{|p{2.6cm}|}{}\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Stock A}&StockB&Stock C\\[2ex]
\multicolumn{1}{|p{1.5cm}|}{Boom}\multicolumn{1}{|p{2.6cm}|}{0.66}\multicolumn{1}{|p{1.27cm}|}{0.09}&0.03&0.34\\
\end{tabular}
\begin{tabular}
{|p{1.5cm}|p{1.5cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|}
\multicolumn{1}{|p{1.5cm}|}{Bust}\multicolumn{1}{|p{2.6cm}|}{0.34}\multicolumn{1}{|p{1.27cm}|}{0.23}&0.29&-0.14\\
\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}

The slope of a line is –2 and its y-intercept is (0, 3). What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the first line and
notsponge [240]

Answer:

D. y=-2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>First start with what we know....</em></u>

y = -2x + 3 (Slope Intercept Form)

<u><em>Because of this we can eliminate B.  </em></u>

<u><em>Parallel means that the lines wouldn't be touching which means they should have the same slope and the only one with the same slope is D. </em></u>

How does algebra affect how people can learn from each other?
pantera1 [17]

Algebra is Faster And Better Than “Basic” Math

Just as multiplying two by twelve is faster than counting to 24 or adding 2 twelve times, algebra helps us solve problems more quickly and easily than we could otherwise. Algebra also opens up whole new areas of life problems, such as graphing curves that cannot be solved with only foundational math skills.

Given a term in the geometric sequence and the common ratio find the first five terms the explicit form and the recursive formul
Pani-rosa [81]
A1 = 4
a2 = 5a1 = 5 x 4 = 20
a3 = 5a2 = 5 x 20 = 100
a4 = 5a3 = 5 x 100 = 500
a5 = 5a4 = 5 x 500 = 2,500

Tn = ar^(n-1); where a = 4, r = 5
Tn = 4(5)^(n-1) = 4/5 (5)^n
Explicit formular is Tn = 4/5 (5)^n

Recursive formular is a_{n+1} = 5a_{n-1}
