Answer:

a) 0.9 & 1

b) Mutual Fund B

Explanation:

For starters, I will define what Sharpe ratio is.....

Sharpe ratio is tagged, the measure of risk-adjusted return of a financial portfolio. It is worthy if note that on the average, a portfolio with a higher Sharpe ratio is considered superior relative to its peers.

You the question, the Sharpe ratios would be calculated as follows:

(Return of portfolio - risk free rate) / standard deviation.

So, for Mutual Fund A:

A = (12% - 3%) / 10%

A = 9% / 10%

A = 0.9

For Mutual Fund B:

B = (10% - 3%) / 7%

B = 7% / 7 %

B = 1

Although the Mutual Fund in A is calculated to have a higher return, the Mutual Fund B is laced with a higher risk-adjusted return.

Besides the u.s. dollar, what is the only major currency to feature bills all of the same size?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Canadian dollar - Bills are often differentiated by size for the visually impaired. Larger denominations in Australia, for instance, are both taller and wider with strong contrasting colors. Euros also follow this logic, while larger notes – like the €200 and €500 – feature tactile marks too. The U.S. and Canadian dollars are currently the only major currencies with same-size notes. The Canadian dollar, however, features tactile marks on the upper righthand corner of bills, and the notes are also different colors to aid the visually impaired. While most other countries are ahead of the U.S. in making their currencies more accessible for the visually impaired, that may soon change with a new proposed $10 bill that would be the first U.S. dollar to feature tactile markings.
