Answer:

Variance of the return = 0.01983

Explanation:

S^{2}= Σ(X-X)^{2}/ N - 1

Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%  

Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)

Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2

Variance = 0.01983

A market is described by the following supply-and-demand curves:QS = 2PQD = 300−PSuppose the government imposes a price ceiling
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Binding

$100

200

200

Shortage

Explanation:

A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a good.

A price ceiling is binding when the price ceiling is below the equilibrium price.

To find the equilibrium price, equate qs to qd because at equilibrium, quantity supplied is equal to quantity demanded.

2P = 300 - P

3P = 300

P = 100

Equilibrium price is $100.

$100 > $90. Therefore, price ceiling is binding.

To find quantity supplied, plug in the value of P into the equation for quantity supplied

QS = 2(100) = 200

To find quantity demanded, plug in the value of P into the equation for quantity demanded

QD = 300 - 100 = 200

when price is below equilibrium price, quantity demanded increases while the quantity supplied decreases. This leads to a shortage.

Suppose you buy some stock in the Alpha Corporation at a price of $45.95 per share. 410 days later you sell the stock for $48.27
kondaur [170]

Answer: 6.79%

Explanation:

The holding period return is:

= (Current price - Cost price + Dividend) / Cost price

= (48.27 - 45.95 + 1.20) / 45.95

= 7.66%

The annualized return is:

= ( ( 1 + holding period return) ^ number of days in a year/ number of days stock was held - 1)

= ( ( 1 + 7.66%) ³⁶⁵ / ⁴¹⁰ - 1)

= 6.79%
