Answer:
4.53%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Expected return = ∑ (Return × probability)
Thus,
Expected return = (0.06 × 22) + (0.92 × 13) + (0.02 × (-15))
= 12.98%
Now,
Probability Return Probability × (Return-Expected Return)²
0.06 22 0.06 × (22% - 12.98%)² = 4.8816
0.92 13 0.92 × (13% - 12.98%)² = 0.000368
0.02 -15 0.02 × (-15% - 12.98%)² = 5.657608
========================================================
Total = 20.5396%
Standard deviation = 
= √(20.5396)
= 4.53%

Explanation:
Since the suck cost is the cost that no longer is recovered so it should not be a factor to consider when making a decision. For example, you have bought a cinema ticket for this evening, but it is heavily rainy so you may get sick if you go to the cinema. The fact that you have paid for this ticket should not consider whether to go or stay home since you can not get this amount of money no matter what happens.
Answer:
Amount investment in Sock Y = - $126,000
Beta of portfolio = 1.636
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total amount to be invested = $140,000
Stock X Y
Expected return 14% 10%
Beta 1.42 1.18
Expected return of portfolio = 17.6%
Now,
let the weight invested n stock X be W
therefore,
Weight of Stock Y = 1 - W
thus,
( W × 14% ) + (1 - w) × 10% = 17.6
%
or
14W + 10% - 10W = 17.6%
or
4W = 7.6
or
W = 1.9
Therefore,
weight of Y = 1 - 1.9 = -0.9
Thus,
Amount investment in Sock Y = Total amount to be invested × Weight
= 140,000 × ( - 0.9 )
= - $126,000 i.e short Y
Beta of portfolio = ∑ (Beta × Weight)
= [ 1.42 × 1.9 ] + [ 1.18 × (-0.9) ]
= 2.698 - 1.062
= 1.636
