Answer:

a. The expected return on the equally weighted portfolio of the three stocks is 16.23%.

b. The variance of the portfolio is 0.020353.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

a. What is the expected return on an equally weighted portfolio of these three stocks? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

This can be calculated using the following 2 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of expected returns under each state of the economy

Expected return under a state of the economy is the sum of the multiplication of the percentage invested in each stock and the rate of return of each stock under the state of the economy.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Expected return under a state of the economy = (Percentage invested in Stock A * Return of Stock A under the state of the economy) + (Percentage invested in Stock B * Return of Stock B under the state of the economy) + (Percentage invested in Stock C * Return of Stock C under the state of the economy) …………… (1)

Since we have an equally weighted portfolio, this implies that percentage invested on each stock can be calculated as follows:

Percentage invested on each stock = 100% / 3 = 33.3333333333333%, or 0.333333333333333

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Expected return under Boom = (0.333333333333333 * 0.09) + (0.333333333333333 * 0.03) + (0.333333333333333 * 0.39) = 0.17

Expected return under Bust = (0.333333333333333 * 0.28) + (0.333333333333333 * 0.34) + (0.333333333333333 * (-0.19)) = 0.143333333333333

Step 2: Calculation of expected return of the portfolio

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Portfolio expected return = (Probability of Boom Occurring * Expected Return under Boom) + (Probability of Bust Occurring * Expected Return under Bust) …………………. (2)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have::

Portfolio expected return = (0.71 * 0.17) + (0.29 * 0.143333333333333) = 0.162266666666667, or 16.2266666666667%

Rounding to 2 decimal places as required by the question, we have:

Portfolio expected return = 16.23%

Therefore, the expected return on the equally weighted portfolio of the three stocks is 16.23%.

b. What is the variance of a portfolio invested 16 percent each in A and B and 68 percent in C? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 6 decimal places, e.g., .161616.)

This can be calculated using the following 3 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of expected returns under each state of the economy

Using equation (1) in part a above, we have:

Expected return under Boom = (16% * 0.09) + (16% * 0.03) + (68% * 0.39) = 0.2844

Expected return under Boom = (16% * 0.28) + (16% * 0.34) + (68% * (-0.19)) = -0.03

Step 2: Calculation of expected return of the portfolio

Using equation (2) in part a above, we have:

Portfolio expected return = (0.71 * 0.2844) + (0.29 *(-0.03)) = 0.193224

Step 3: Calculation of the variance of the portfolio

Variance of the portfolio = (Probability of Boom Occurring * (Expected Return under Boom - Portfolio expected return)^2) + (Probability of Bust Occurring * (Expected Return under Bust - Portfolio expected return)^2) …………………….. (3)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (3), we have:

Variance of the portfolio = (0.71 * (0.2844 - 0.193224)^2) + (0.29 * (-0.03- 0.193224)^2) = 0.020352671424

Rounding to 6 decimal places as required by the question, we have:

Variance of the portfolio = 0.020353

Therefore, the variance of the portfolio is 0.020353.

Answer:

  a) 120 skiers per day

  b) 6.25% increase in revenue

Explanation:

a) If the average skier stays 10 days, the average turnover is 1/10 of the skiers per day, or 1200/10 = 120 skiers per day.

__

b) For a stay of n days, the average skier spends ...

  50 +(n-1)30 = 20 +30n

and the average spending per day is ...

  (20 +30n)/n = (20/n) +30

So, for a 10-day stay, the average skier spends in restaurants ...

  20/10 +30 = 32 . . . . per day

And for a 5-day stay, the average skier will spend ...

  20/5 +30 = 34 . . . . per day

The change in restaurant revenue is expected to be ...

  (34 -32)/32 × 100% = 2/32 × 100% = 6.25%

Restaurant revenues will be 6.25% higher compared to last year.

Of the automobiles produced at a particular plant, 40% had a certain defect. suppose a company purchases five of these cars. wha
Stells [14]

The expected value for the number of cars with defects can be obtained by multiplying the probability of success (i.e. the percentage of products with defects - 40%) by the number of cases (i.e. the number of cars purchased – 5).

 

40 / 100 X 5 = 2

 

Therefore, the expected value for the number of cars with defects will be the percentage of products with defects is 2

Average Inventory            148,500  

DAYS IN INVENTORY        137  

Explanation:

To calculate the Inventory Turnover ratio it's necessary to calculate the average inventory of the year , the take the Total Cost of Goods and divide it by the Average Inventory, the result it's the Inventory Turnover of the company, in this case 2,66  

To find the days in inventory we have to divide 365 (days of the year) and divide it by the Inventory Turnover, 2,66, the result is 137 days.

Kay [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is AE = C + I + G + NX.

Explanation:

Aggregate spending (in Keynes's opinion) is the key to economic activity, that is, what families, businesses and government plan to buy determines what companies will end up producing. In the first stage of the analysis, a simplified model excludes the government, assumes that there is no foreign sector, and that the level of real income or income (and not prices) is the main determinant of aggregate expenditure
