Answer:
a. The portfolio weights that remove all risk is 50%
.
b. The risk-free rate of interest in this economy is 13.5%
Explanation:
The formula for standard deviation of a portfolio, of which i cannot type:
a. If we let sigma p = std. deviation of portfolio
rho 1,2 = correlation
if sigma = 0 and rho = -1, then the first equation can be re-written as :
0 = w1^2 * s1^2 + w2^2 * s2^2 + 2 * w1 * w2 * s1 * s2 * -1
0 = (w1s1 - w2s2)^2
w1s1 = w2s2
w1 * 0.03 = w2 * 0.03
w1 = w2 = 50%
Therefore, The portfolio weights that remove all risk is 50%
.
b. Expected return of the portfolio = 0.5*20% + 0.5*7%
= 13.5%
This portfolio has zero risk, risk free rate = 13.5%
Therefore, The risk-free rate of interest in this economy is 13.5%
Answer:
D. 0.132
Explanation:
Calculation for the expected rate of return
Expected rate of return = 6% + 1.2(12 - 6)
Expected rate of return=6%+1.2(6)
Expected rate of return =6%+7.2
Expected rate of return = 13.2%
Therefore the expected rate of return on security X with a beta of 1.2 is equal to: 13.3%
Answer:
4099
Explanation:
we have mean = 4000
σ = 60 units
lets make X = weekly production
z = X-μ/σ
z = X-4000/60
At 0.05 level of signficance, z critical value = 1.645
we put this value into the equation

we cross multiply from here
60 * 1.645 = x - 4000
98.7 = x-4000
x = 4000 + 98.7
x = 4098.7
≈ 4099
the bonus would be paid on 4099 units

Answer:
A) focused niche strategy
Explanation:
A niche is a specific section of a market. In this case, the specific section of the market is female viewers.
Lifetime Television has found that tailoring its products to a specific niche (female viewers) is a good strategy. They have decided to do so instead of trying to attract a larger section of ther market (for example, they could be a channel that appeals to both men and women, but they have chosen not to do so).
