A fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The 1st is a stock fund, the 2nd is a long-term government and corporate bond

fund (investment grade), and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 3.00%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 12.00% 41.00% Bond fund (B) 5.00% 30.00% The correlation between the fund returns is 0.0667. What is the expected return and standard deviation for the minimum-variance portfolio of the two risky funds

Answer:

Expected return is: 7.37% and the Standard deviation is: 24.96%

Explanation:

Correlation between fund S&B=0,0667

Standard Deviation of Fund S=41%

Standard Deviation of Fund(B)=30%

E(R) of Stock Fund S=12%

E(R) of Stock Fund B=5%

Covariance between the funds = Standard Deviation of Fund(B) × Standard Deviation of Fund S × correlation between these funds

Cov = 0.41 × 0.30 × 0.0667 = 0.008204

Now minimum variance portfolio is found by applying:

W min(S)=(SDB)^2-Cov(B,S) / ((SDS)^2+(SDB)^2-2Cov(B,S)

W min(S) = 0.338431

W min(B) = 1-0.338431=0.661569

1) E(r)min= 0.338431 × 12% + 0.661569 × 5% = 7.37%

2) Standard Deviation:

SD Min = (Ws^2XSDs^2+Wb^2XSDb^2+2XWsWb*Cov(s,B)^1/2

SDmin=(0.338431^2 × 0.41^2 + 0.661569^2 ×   0.3^2   + 2 × 0.338431 × 0.661569 × 0.008204)^1/2

SDmin=24.96%

Mary’s hourly wage is twice that of John’s. John’s and Dennis’ hourly wages together total $60. If Dennis earns 1/3 of John’s ra
kolezko [41]

Answer: $90

Explanation: This problem can be solved by using following equation :-

Let John's hourly wage rate be J, Mary's hourly wage rate be M and Dennis hourly wage rate be D, therefore :-

Mary's rate will be :-

M = 2J............equation 1

AND,

J + D = $60 ..... equation 2

Similarly,

D = 1/3J

Now,putting the value of D in equation 2 we get,

J + 1/3J = $60

J  = $45

Putting the values of J in equation equation 1 we get,

M = 2 * $45

   = $90

So, Mary's hourly wage rate is $90

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The difference might relate to depreciation, loss on sale of fixed assets, or change in working capital.

Explanation:

The net cash flow from operating activities is calculated after adding and deducting certain items and adjustments to net income to get operating cash flow.

First of all, the gains or losses from sale of fixed assets are adjusted, losses are added back and gains are deducted, to get income from operations.

All the non cash transactions that is unrealized gains or losses are eliminated.

Depreciation being non cash is added back.

All the changes in working capital is adjusted.

Increase in value of current assets are deducted, decrease in value of current assets are added, increase in current liability is added and decrease in current liabilities is deducted.

Thus, after all these adjustments the cash flow from operating activities is calculated.

In the given instance also, the difference might relate to depreciation, loss on sale of fixed assets, or change in working capital.

A monopolistically competitive firm chooses
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

D. both the quantity of output to produce and the price at which it will sell its output.

Explanation:

A monpolistically competitive firm chooses the price and the quantity to produce. This decision is guided by market conditions and the goal to maximise profit.

A monopolistic competitive firm has a downward sloping demand curve just like a monopoly, so the monpolistically competitive firm chooses the quantity that maximises its profit and then chooses price.

A downward sloping demand curve indicates that quantity demanded is sensitive to price. The higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded.

A monpolistically competitive firm is a firm that has features of both a monopoly and a competitive firm.

The ability of a monpolistically competitive firm to set prices makes it a price maker.

Just like a monopoly, a monopolistically competitive firm has the following features:

1. It faces of downward sloping demand curve.

2. It sets the price for its products.

Just like a perfect competition, a monopolistically competitive firm has the following features:

1. No barriers to entry or exit.

2. There are many buyers and sellers

Other features of a monpolistically competitive firm are:

1. Firms sell differentiated products

2. Firms engage in non price competition.
