Answer:

Portfolio Mean return = 11%

Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%

Option a is the correct answer

Explanation:

The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,

Portfolio Mean = wA * rA  +  wB  *  rB

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each security
  • r represents the mean return of each security

The return on the equity fund = risk free rate + risk premium

The return on the equity fund = 5% + 10% = 15%

Portfolio Mean return = 60% * 15%  +  40% * 5%

Portfolio Mean return = 11%

The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities, one of which is a risk free security and has zero standard deviation, can be calculated as follows,

Portfolio Stdev = Weight of risky security * Standard deviation of risky security

Portfolio Stdev = 0.6 * 0.15

Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%

marissa [1.9K]

"Evaluative priming" refers to how quickly a person can identify an attitude object's valence when it appears right after a positive or negative image.

<h3>Define the term evaluative priming?</h3>

A technique known as a "evaluative priming exercise" (EP) uses phrases or images to prime participants before asking them to sort the words (or images) onto categories to uncover the underlying links between concepts.

  • A measure of implicit attitude based on the fact that the speed of evaluating a target attitude object is accelerated by a prime (i.e., this same prior presentation of a different attitude object)
  • Evaluatively consistent the with target and inhibited by such a prime which is evaluatively inconsistent also with target.

Thus,  the task is a typical indicator of implicit sentiments. "Evaluative priming" measures how quickly a subject can categorize the valence of the an attitude item when it appears just after a favorable or unfavorable image.
