Answer: The standard deviation of the stock is 3.23 percentage

Explanation:

First we shall calculate the epected weighted average return of the stock.

We shall multiply the probability of the scenario with its expected return and then take the sum of the expected returns of different scenarios,

E(x) = (0.2 x 14%) + (0.7 x 8%) + (0.1 x 2%)

E(x) = 8.6%

We shall use the follwing formula to calculate the Variance of the stock,

σ²(x) = ∑ P(x_{i}) × [x_{i} - E(r)]²

σ²(x)  = (0.2) (0.14 - 0.086)² + (0.7) (0.08 - 0.086)² + (0.1) (0.02 - 0.086)²

σ²(x) = 0.001044

To find the standar deviation,

σ(x) = \sqrt{0.001044}

σ(x) = 0.0323109

in percentage it would be 3.23%

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

16.67%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what percentage of your salary must you save each year

First step is to calculate the Annual savings

Annual savings=$5 million*[(10%-3%)/(1+0.1)^40-(1+0.03)^40]

Annual savings=$5 million*0.07/(1.1^40-1.03^40)

Annual savings=$8333.88

Now let determine the percentage of the salary you must save each year

Proportion of savings=$8333.88/$50,000

Proportion of savings=0.1667*100

Proportion of savings=16.67%

Therefore the percentage of your salary that you must save each year is 16.67%

mylen [45]

Answer:

Dustup forgot to the consumers if the add-on will give them more satisfaction from using their product.  

Explanation:

The market is always king. Getting first-hand information about what consumers need and how they need it is the best way to go about creating a product or modifying an existing one to become more profitable.

The removal of the brochures from the bottles showed that shoppers didn't necessarily want their product. What they wanted was to be able to make contact with the company and get more information on how to revive their old wooden floors.

Cheers!
