Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. VaR = Expected return - z × Standard deviation
= 13% - 1.645 × 20%
= -19.90%
Therefore the option a is the correct answer.
2) Now the correlation coefficient is
Variance of the portfolio = (weight of A × Standard deviation 1)^2 + (weight of B × Standard deviation 2)^2 + (2 × weight of A × weight of B × Standard deviation 1 × Standard deviation 2 × correlation 1 and 2)
3.80% = (60% × 24%)^2 + (40% × 18%)^2 + (2 × 60% × 40% × 24% × 18% × correlation 1 and 2)
So the correlation is 0.583

Answer:
A Tying Contract
Explanation:
If a seller requires an intermediary to purchase a supplementary product to qualify to purchase the primary product the intermediary wishes to buy, it results in a tying contract. It is mostly treated as an illegal because it pushes intermediary organization to buy other products if they wishes to purchase the products which is actually needed to be purchased. Some companies make it compulsory for their intermediaries in doing so. For example, if you have to buy 10 packs of Lays, then you must be buying 5 extra boxes of Pepsi as well. It is being done because of the power and market share that company is enjoying in the market, so they take its advantage.
Answer: B) The price for admission to a national park can be increased during peak times to limit overuse of the park.
Explanation:
In line with the rules of Supply and Demand, if a resource is in high demand, there should be a higher price associated with it to reflect its relative scarcity in relation to demand. If a resource is being overutilized (in demand) therefore, it would make sense that it gets a higher price.
This is the case with the national park during peak times. At this time there are quite a lot of people in it and this means that it is being overused. In such times, the entrance fee should increase to reflect that the demand is quite high and to limit the overuse of the park.
