Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. VaR = Expected return - z × Standard deviation  
= 13% - 1.645 × 20% 
= -19.90%
Therefore the option a is the correct answer.
2) Now the correlation coefficient is 
Variance of the portfolio  = (weight of A × Standard deviation 1)^2 + (weight of B × Standard deviation 2)^2 + (2 × weight of A × weight of B × Standard deviation 1 × Standard deviation 2 × correlation 1 and 2)
3.80% = (60% × 24%)^2 + (40% × 18%)^2 + (2 × 60% × 40% × 24% × 18% × correlation 1 and 2)
So the correlation is 0.583

Advocacy groups are groups of concerned citizens who band together to try to influence the business practices of specific industries, businesses, and professions.
Explanation:
Advocacy groups are important components of consumer rights in the capitalistic market and are essential for maintaining good business practices in the capitalistic society where competition can take a hold over the moral situation that should in  a sense dominate. 
The advocacy groups that work this way are the ones who are a group of concerned citizens who band together to try to influence the business practices of specific industries, businesses, and professions. This is important for consumer rights for this sector to be strong. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
8.25% 
Explanation:
Orange, Inc. should calculate the MARR (minimum acceptable rate of return) for this project using the following:
Re = 12% (similar to Paste, Inc., so it can be considered the industry's average)
Rd = 6% x (1 - 25%) = 4.5%
MARR = (1/2 x 12%) + (1/2 x 4.5%) = 6% + 2.25% = 8.25% 
This calculation is similar to calculating a company's WACC since you must determine the weighted cost of financing the project.
