You find a certain stock that had returns of 16 percent, −9 percent, 23 percent, and 24 percent for four of the last five years.

The average return of the stock over this period was 14.4 percent. a. What was the stock’s return for the missing year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place, e.g., 32.1.) b. What is the standard deviation of the stock’s returns? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

stock's returns = (0.16 - 0.09 + 0.23 + 0.24 + x) / 5 = 0.144

0.16 - 0.09 + 0.23 + 0.24 + x = 0.144 x 5

0.54 + x = 0.72

missing return (x) = 0.72 - 0.54 = 0.18 = 18%

variance = [(0.16 - 0.144)² + (-0.09 - 0.144)² + (0.23 - 0.144)² + (0.24 - 0.144)² + (0.18 - 0.144)²] / 5 = (0.000256 + 0.054636257 + 0.007396 + 0.009216 + 0.001296) / 5 = 0.014560051

standard deviation = √0.014560051 = 0.1207 = 12.07%

Suppose that a local supermarket sells apples and oranges for 50 cents apiece, and at these prices is able to sell 100 apples an
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

e. price elasticities of demand for apples and oranges are the same over these price ranges

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Percentage change in price = (50-40) / 50 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%

Percentage change in quantity demanded of Apples = (120 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 × 100 =

20%

Percentage change in quantity demanded of oranges = (240 - 200) / 200 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%

Price elasticity of demand for oranges = 20% / 20% = 1

Price elasticity of demand for Apples = 20% / 20% = 1

When coefficient of elasticity is equal than one, elasticity of demand is unit elastic.

This implies that the elasticity of demand for Apples and oranges are the same. A change in the price of oranges and apples would lead to the same proportional change for each of the demand for Apples and oranges.

I hope my answer helps you
