The answer is false i hope this helps :3
Answer:
Expected return is: 7.37% and the Standard deviation is: 24.96%
Explanation:
Correlation between fund S&B=0,0667
Standard Deviation of Fund S=41%
Standard Deviation of Fund(B)=30%
E(R) of Stock Fund S=12%
E(R) of Stock Fund B=5%
Covariance between the funds = Standard Deviation of Fund(B) × Standard Deviation of Fund S × correlation between these funds
Cov = 0.41 × 0.30 × 0.0667 = 0.008204
Now minimum variance portfolio is found by applying:
W min(S)=(SDB)^2-Cov(B,S) / ((SDS)^2+(SDB)^2-2Cov(B,S)
W min(S) = 0.338431
W min(B) = 1-0.338431=0.661569
1) E(r)min= 0.338431 × 12% + 0.661569 × 5% = 7.37%
2) Standard Deviation:
SD Min = (Ws^2XSDs^2+Wb^2XSDb^2+2XWsWb*Cov(s,B)^1/2
SDmin=(0.338431^2 × 0.41^2 + 0.661569^2 × 0.3^2 + 2 × 0.338431 × 0.661569 × 0.008204)^1/2
SDmin=24.96%
<span>The speaker is using the fallacy of building on an unproven assumption. The speaker has made the assumption that the Japanese make the best stereo sound systems in the world. This is merely his/her opinion, and is not a proven fact. Thus, when the speaker bases another argument on that assumption, he has used a fallacy in reasoning.</span>
