Answer:

The portfolio SD is A. 20.65%

Explanation:

The standard deviation tells the total risk (both systematic and unsystematic) associated with a stock or a portfolio. The portfolio risk or the standard deviation of portfolio can be calculated using the following formula as attached in the picture below.

Using this formula, the standard deviation of the portfolio is:

SDp = √(0.3)² * (0.2)² + (0.7)² * (0.25)² + 2 * (0.3)*(0.7) * 0.4 * (0.2)*(0.25)

Portfolio SD = 0.20645 or 20.645% rounded off to 20.65%

solmaris [256]

Maggie can buy 3 gifts

Solution:

Total budget $19

Each gift costs $4

Shipping fee $7

a. Total budget — Shipping fee = $19 - $7 = $12

Maggie’s got $12 more

Each gift costs $4

Number of gifts that Maggie can buy = $\frac{12}{4}$ =3

b. Let x represent the number of gifts.

19 = 7 +4x

Subtract -7 from both sides

19 - 7= 7 + 4x - 7

Now Simplify,

12 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{12}{4} = \frac{4x}{4}$

x = 3

A rent ceiling set below the equilibrium rent

Anna [14]

A rent ceiling set below the equilibrium rent creates a situation in which the quantity demanded of housing is greater than quantity supplied.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rent limit is the highest price a property owner can demand for rent. Rent ceilings are typically fixed by legislation and limit how high the rent can be in a given area. Although, the amount of affordable housing is also reduced as a consequence of this rule, as tenants are not interested in renting out their properties at a cheap price.

Nevertheless, if the limit is placed underneath the level of equilibrium then a reduction of deadweight is produced. Many issues come in the form of illegal markets, scanning time and charges that aren't leased precisely like key money i.e. high initial cost for new keys.
