Answer:

They shouldn't because they are making a net profit of £45,000

Explanation:

They make around £250,000 I got this by multiplying 100,000 by 2.50 and the cost to produce is 0.80, so 100,000x0.80 is 80,000 and the costs are 125,000. if we merge the total costs and subtract it by the total profit ; 80,000+125,000 we get 205000, 250,000-205000 we get 45,000.

Answer:

It often proves difficult to actually realize the change that you have come up with. Especially when it comes to cultural or behavioral change. We want to show that change is not so much something that you have to get others to join. You have to make your change part of it

Arbor Systems and Gencore stocks both have a volatility of 33%. Compute the volatility of a portfolio with 50% invested in each

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

<h3>In case of b, c, d ,e volatility is less than that of original stock</h3>

Explanation:

The formula to compute the volatility of a portfolio

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

Here,

The standard deviation of the first stock is σ₁

The standard deviation of the second stock is σ₂

The weight of the first stock W₁

The weight of the second stock W₂

The correlation between the stock c

a) If the correlation between the stock is +1

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times1} \\\\=0.33$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.33 0r 33%

b) If the correlation between the stock is 0.50

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times0.5} \\\\=0.29$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.29 0r 29%

c) If the correlation between the stock is 0.00

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times0.0} \\\\=0.23$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.23 0r 23%

d) If the correlation between the stock is -0.50

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times-0.5} \\\\=0.17$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.17 or 17%

e) If the correlation between the stock is -1

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times-1} \\\\=0$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0

<h3>In case of b, c, d ,e volatility is less than that of original stock</h3>
