Answer:

12.00%

Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of standard deviation of a portfolio is provided below:-

Standard deviation of a portfolio = √(Standard deviation of Product 1)^2 × (Weight 1)^2 + Standard deviation of Product 2)^2 × (Weight 2)^2 + 2 × Standard deviation of product 1 × Standard deviation of product 2 × Weight 1 × Weight 2 × Correlation

= √(0.165^2 × 0.6^2) + (0.068^2 × 0.4^2) + (2 × 0.6 × 0.4 × 0.165 × 0.068 × 0.7)

= √0.009801  + 0.0007398  + 0.00376992

= √0.01431076

= 0.119628592

or

= 12.00%

So, we have calculated the standard deviation of a portfolio by using the above formula.

Answer:Please see answer below

Explanation:

Solving

Net income= $16,000

Change in asset and liabilities

Accounts receivable Increased $67,000- $59,000 =- -8000

Inventory Decreased 62,000- 86,000=24,000

Prepaid rent --Increased 9,000- 7,000 = -2000

Accounts payable ---decreased 22,000 -30,000 = -8000

Wages payable ----Increased 9,000- 7,000=2000

Net cash provided by operating activity.=24,000+ 2000-(8000+2000+8000)

= $24,000

Net income= $16,000

Change in asset and liabilities

Accounts receivable--Increase -$8,000

Inventory--Decreased-- $24,000

Prepaid rent --Increased -$2,000

Accounts payable ---decreased-$8,000

Wages payable ----Increased $2,000

Net cash provided by operating activities,= $24,000
