Answer:

The portfolio's expected return is 12% and the standard deviation of the portfolio is 15.65%.

Explanation:

The expected rate of return of the portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. The formula for a two stock portfolio return is,

Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB

Where,

  • w represents weight of the stocks in the portfolio
  • r represents the return of the stocks in the portfolio

Portfolio return = 0.7 * 0.15  +  0.3 * 0.05  =  0.12 or 12%

The portfolio which consists of a risky and a risk free asset has a standard deviation equal to the weight of the risky asset multiplied by its standard deviation. The risk free asset has no standard deviation. Thus, the formula for a portfolio standard deviation for such a portfolio is,

Standard deviation = weight of risky asset * standard deviation of risky asset

Standard deviation of portfolio = 0.7 * √0.05

Where standard deviation is the square root of variance.

Standard deviation of portfolio = 0.1565 or 15.65%

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $275,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

sales $200,000

variable costs $120,000

fixed costs $60,000

desired profit= $50,000

<u>To calculate the sales required to achieve the desired profit, we need to use the break-even point in dollars formula:</u>

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= (60,000 + 50,000) / [(200,000 - 120,000)/200,000]

Break-even point (dollars)= 110,000 / 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= $275,000

deff fn [24]

The answer is : The demand is elastic.

Elasticity =

[(80,000 - 180,000)/((80,000+180,000)/2)]/[($40 - $30)/(($40 + $30)/2)]|

[(-100,000/130,000)]/[(10/55)] = -.7692/.1818= -4.23

The answer is -4.23, however when considering own price elasticity of demand, we ignore the negative sign and look at the absolute value to determine whether it is elastic or inelastic.
