Answer: Home replication strategy
Explanation:
The competitive strategy should the company use based on these factors is the home replication strategy. In this strategy, there is a minimal need for flexibility or modifications.
Since the company finds weak pressure to respond to local demands and cost reductions are not necessary, then the home replication strategy is applicable.
Answer:
a) Portfolio ABC's expected return is 10.66667%.
Explanation:
Some information is missing:
Stock Expected Standard Beta
return deviation
A 10% 20% 1.0
B 10% 10% 1.0
C 12% 12% 1.4
The expected return or portfolio AB = (1/2 x 10%) + (1/2 x 10%) = 10% (it is the same as the required rate for stock A or B)
The expected return or portfolio ABC = (weight of stock A x expected return of stock A) + (weight of stock B x expected return of stock B) + (weight of stock C x expected return of stock C) = (1/3 x 10%) + (1/3 x 10%) + (1/3 x 12%) = 3.333% + 3.333% + 4% = 10.667% <u>THIS IS CORRECT</u>
Options B, C, D and E are wrong.

Answer:
convexity = 37.6306
Explanation:
given data:
maturity time = 7 years
yield to maturity (y) = 8% = 0.08
coupon bond = 6%
price= $89.59 ( gotten from the summation of pv(cf) from the table attached below )
t = time
convexity can be found using this formula
= 
= 37.6306
