Answer:

16.0996% rounded off to 16.1%

Explanation:

We can calculate the standard deviation of a portfolio, that is the total risk of a portfolio, using the following formula,

S.D = √ (w1)² (S.D1)² + (w2)² (S.D2)² + 2 (w1) (w2) (correlation) (S..D1) (S.D2)

Where,

  • w1 is the weigh-age of investment in stock/bond 1
  • S.D1 is standard deviation of returns of stock/bond 1
  • w2 is the weight-age of stock/bond 2
  • S.D2 is the standard deviation of returns of stock/bond 2
  • correlation is the correlation between the returns of stock/bond 1 and 2

We calculate the S.D of given portfolio,

S.D = √ (0.5)² (0.24)² + (0.5)² (0.12)² + 2 (0.5) (0.5) (0.55) (0.24) (0.12)

S.D = 0.160996 or 16.0996 %

The answer to question one is raising financial capital is difficult and the owner is personally liable for business debts.

Sole proprietorships have a number of advantages and disadvantages. These are two of the biggest disadvantages.

Question number two can be solved through the process of elimination. The workers and shareholders would not be hiring anyone. This leaves the Presidents and Vice Presidents. The President would normally hire the Vice Presidents, and then the Vice Presidents would hire and supervise the heads of the departments.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The option for this question are the following:

A. Concurrent

B. Statistical

C. Inventory

D. Feedforward

The correctt answer is D. Feed forward.

Explanation:

Feedforward is the process by which feedback between company members focuses more on future possibilities. That is to say, it is not only about communicating but about doing it thinking about increasing the opportunities that the company has and will be able to have later.

The problem we had when we talked about feedback was that it focused on aspects of the past. Communication was thought of as something of the moment, without determining an intention to take it to another level. The ‘feed’ forward would come into play here.

What is intended with the feedforward is to establish links and ideas, so that teamwork makes business organization easier. Brainstorming and the sharing of solutions and aspects for the company mean that employees can aspire to a positive work future.
