Answer:

(2) 4%

Explanation:

The portfolio is considered to be less risky if its volatility is low. The higher standard deviation the more risky is the project. For Duke Energy and Microsoft the investment portfolio required is risk free investment. To calculate the risk free rate we calculate using the formula;

Var Rp = x1 2Var R1 + x2 2Var R2 +2 x1 x2 Corr (R1, R2) SD1 SD2

Var Rp = 0.14 + 0.44 + 2 (1) * (-1) * 6% * 24%

Solving for this we get the risk free investment at 4%.

Answer:

The resulting CA percentage for the week to the nearest number is 94%

Explanation:  

CA refers to Commitment Adherence.

Commitment Adherence (CA) is a way to calculate the reliability of an employee in relation to how much time they put into their work.

Put differently, it is a mathematical comparison between how much time you stated that you were going to work versus the actual amount worked. This concept is prevalent with people who use clock-in and clock-out system to measure productivity.

Step 1

The formula for calculating Commitment Adherence (CA) is:

(Serviced Minutes - Excused Non-Serviced Minutes) / (Posted Minutes + Released Minutes)

When you log out at about 5 minutes early it translates to 83% because each interval is 30 minutes. So 23/30 = 83%

Step 2

There are 8 intervals. 5 of them are 100% each. Thus total intervals for the week equal

(5*100%)+(3*83%) =

7.49 *30 = 224.7

Total number of intervals selected =

8*30 = 240

Therefore commitment adherence = 224.7/240

= 0.94%

Cheers!

What is the customer demand in the uk for international foods?<br><br> need a detailed answer please
Romashka [77]
UK cuisine is largely international, with curry (for instance) being the most popular foodstuff in the UK, originating from Asia.

As Hungarian, Italian, Greek, Indian, French, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mongolian, and any number of other exotic food outlets are thriving in London, for instance, it would suggest that customer demand for these foodstuffs is enough to sustain business.

A large number of mixed Polish/Halal grocery shops have opened in areas of South London in recent years, catering to an increased number of workers and immigrants from the Middle-East and Eastern Europe.

The good old Fish'n'Chips shop is still going strong.

Many have expanded their menu to include kebabs - only fair, as kebab shops tend to sell chips too...

cricket20 [7]

Answer: the correct answer is a. Machine B

Explanation:

Machine A average rate return

40000 out of 300000. It means that 300000 is 100% and $ 40000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

40000       X                     X= 4000000/300000

300000     100%               X= 13.33%

Machine B average rate return

50000 out of 250000. It means that 250000 is 100% and $ 50000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

50000       X                     X= 5000000/250000

250000     100%               X= 20%

Machine C average rate return

$75,000 out of $500,000. It means that $500,000 is 1005 and $75,000 is X. We apply a simple three rule

$75,000     X                       X=7500000/500000

$500,000  100%                 X= 15%

The highest average is the one onf Machine B
