Suppose that there are many stocks in the security market and that the characteristics of stocks A and B are given as follows: S
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

0.135 or 13.5%

Explanation:

Given in the question are the following:

ERA = Expected return of Stock A = 12% = 0.12

ERB = Expected return of Stock B = 19% = 0.19

SDA = Standard deviation of Stock A = 3% = 0.03

SDB = Standard deviation of Stock B = 9% = 0.09

CAB = Correlation between A and B = -1

The correlation of -1 between Stock A and Stock B indicates that there a perfect negative correlation between the two stocks. Therefore, we can create a risk-free portfolio which its rate of return will be the risk-free rate in equilibrium.  

If we let wA denotes the proportion of investment in Stock A, and let wB denotes the proportion of investment in Stock B, the proportion of this portfolio can be obtained by setting its standard deviation equal to zero. Since there is a perfect negative correlation, the standard deviation of this portfolio (SDP) can be given as follows:

Absolute value [(wA × SDA) – (wB × SDB)] = SDP …………………………………….. (1)

Note that wB = (1 – wA) since the sum of the weight must be equal to 1.

Substituting all the relevant values into equation and set SDP = 0, we have  

[(0.03 × wA) − (0.11 × (1 - wA))] = 0

0.03wA – 0.11 + 0.11wA = 0

0.03wA + 0.11wA = 0.11

0.14wA = 0.11

wA = 0.11 ÷ 0.14 = 0.785714285714286

Since wB = 1 –wA, therefore:

wB = 1 - 0.785714285714286 = 0.214285714285714

The expected rate of return of the portfolio (ERP) can be estimated as follows:

ERP = (wA × ERA) + (wB × ERB)  ................................. (2)

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

ERP = (0.785714285714286 × 0.12) + (0.214285714285714 × 0.19)  

       = 0.0942857142857143 + 0.0407142857142857

ERP = 0.135 or 13.5%

Therefore, the value of the risk-free rate must be 13.5%.

Gary, a new salesperson for a reputed cellphone manufacturer, meets the owner of a transport company that employs 50,000 people
qaws [65]

Answer:

Option B. It is unrealistic

Explanation:

The reason is that the people have different likes which means we will never see 100 percent acceptance from the customers which might in the way of rejecting the offer of Gary. So the assumption that 50,000 cab drivers will purchase its product is truly optimistic which in other words is unrealistic assumption. So the option B is correct.

Option A is incorrect because the assumption is less qualitative as it doesn't relies on realistic assumption.

The cab drivers sales are relevant here but the sales assumption was unrealistic (Highly optimistic assumption) so the option C and D are incorrect.

Option E is also incorrect because the sales to cab drivers can be measure by initially directly selling 1000 cell phone to 1000 cab drivers which will give an actual idea of sales units expected, which means it is measurable.

<span>Why is organizational culture so difficult to change? Because it is difficult to change a group's shared values, attitudes, and beliefs. Organizational culture is defined as the values and behaviors that make an organization a unique environment. It is hard to change the way an organization works because you can't just change values and beliefs that someone beliefs in. </span>
