The policy of the Japanese that most closely paralleled the conditions described in the passage was

Based on current dividend yields and expected capital gains, the expected rates of return on portfolios A and B are 9.1% and 12.

podryga [215]

Answer:

A.) ALPHA

Portfolio A = 8.5%

Portflio B = 13.5%

B.) Sharpe measure

Portfolio A = 0.1519

Portflio B = 0.1479

Explanation:

T- bill rate (Rf) =5%

S&P 500 index ( Rm) = 10%

Portfolio A;

Expected rate of return = 9.1%

Beta (B) = 0.7

Standard deviation (s) = 27%

Portfolio B;

Expected rate of return = 12.1%

Beta (B) = 1.7

Standard deviation = 48%

Required rate of return for both portfolios;

Rf + B × (Rm - Rf)

Portfolio A :

5% + 0.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 0.7 × (5%)

5% + 3.5% = 8.5%

Portfolio B :

5% + 1.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 1.7 × (5%)

5% + 8.5% = 13.5%

A) Alpha(A) of Portfolio A and B ;

A = Expected return - Required return

Alpha of portfolio A :

9.1% - 8.5% = 0.6%

Alpha of Portfolio B:

12.1% - 13.5% = - 1.4%

B.) Sharpe measure for portfolio A and B;

Sharpe ratio = (Expected rate of return - Rf) / s

Portfolio A = (9.1% - 5%)/27% = 0.1519

Portfolio B = (12.1% - 5%)/48% = 0.1479

I will choose Portfolio A

Market equilibrium Consider the demand function of tofu given by Qd = 150 – 10p + 5pb and the supply function of tofu given by Q

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a) Qs = 50 + 20p - 7ps

= 50 + 20p - 7×(2)

= 50 + 20p - 14

= 36 + 20p

At equilibrium, $Q_{d}$ = $Q_{s}$

So, 150 - 10p + 5 $p_{b}$ = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 30p

= 150 - 36 + 5 $p_{b}$

= 114 + 5 $p_{b}$

So, p = (114/30) + (5/30) $p_{b}$

= 3.8 + 0.17 $p_{b}$

Thus, $p_{e}$ = 3.8 + 0.17 $p_{b}$

Q = 36 + 20p

= 36 + 20(3.8 + 0.17 $p_{b}$ )

= 36 + 76 + 3.4 $p_{b}$

= 112 + 3.4 $p_{b}$

Thus, $Q_{e}$ = 112 + 3.4 $p_{b}$

b) $p_{e}$ = 3.8 + 0.17 $p_{b}$

= 3.8 + 0.17×(5)

= 3.8 + .85

= 4.65

$Q_{e}$ = 112 + 3.4 $_{b}$

= 112 + 3.4(5)

= 112 + 17

= 129

c) Qd = 150 - 10p + 5pb = 150 - 10(2.5) + 5(5) = 150 - 25 + 25 = 150

Qs = 36 + 20p = 36 + 20(2.5) = 36 + 50 = 86

Thus, there is excess demand as $Q_{d}$ > $Q_{s}$

d) New $Q_{d}$ = 180 - 10p + 5 $p_{b}$

= 180 - 10p + 5×(5)

= 180 - 10p + 25

= 205 - 10p

Now, new $Q_{d}$ = $Q_{s}$ gives,

205 - 10p = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 205 - 36

So, 30p = 169

So, p = 169÷30

So, $p_{e}$ = 5.63

Q = 205 - 10p = 205 - 10×(5.63) = 205 - 56.3 = 148.7

So, $Q_{e}$ = 148.7
