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.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

produce at an economic loss.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

In a perfectly competitive market in long-run equilibrium, a long-run equilibrium avails firms the opportunity to adjust all inputs and all fixed costs are maximized. Also, it's characterized by free entry and exit, as such there isn't a fixed number of firms. This simply means that, since the number of firms in a long-run equilibrium can change, a firm must exit the market as a result of losses i.e when the firm is unable to cover its fixed costs in the long-run while new firms are allowed entry into the market when it anticipates potential profits or gains.

However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.

In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P=MR=MC and P=AC.

Hence, if price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in the short run, a perfectly competitive firm will produce at an economic loss.

Additionally, Average Total Cost (ATC) can be defined as the overall cost of production divided by total output of production. It is calculated by dividing total cost by total output of production or by adding TVC and TFC.

An investor can design a risky portfolio based on two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 16% and a standard devi
ElenaW [278]

The proportion of the optimal risky portfolio that should be invested in stock A is 0%.

Using this formula

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=[(Wa-RFR )×SDB²]-[(Wb-RFR)×SDA×SDB×CC] ÷ [(Wa-RFR )×SDB²+(Wb-RFR)SDA²]- [(Wa-RFR +Wb-RFR )×SDA×SDB×CC]

Where:

Stock A Expected Return  (Wa) =16%

Stock A Standard Deviation (SDA)= 18.0%

Stock B Expected Return  (Wb)= 12%

Stock B Standard Deviation(SDB) = 3%  

Correlation Coefficient for Stock A and B (CC) = 0.50  

Risk Free rate of return(RFR) = 10%

Let plug in the formula

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=[(.16-.10)×.03²]-[(.12-.10)×.18×.03×0.50]÷ [(.16-.10 )×.03²+(.12-.10)×.18²]- [(.16-.10 +.12-.10 )×.18×.03×0.50]

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=(0.000054-0.000054)÷(0.000702-0.000216)

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=0÷0.000486×100%

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=0%

Inconclusion the proportion of the optimal risky portfolio that should be invested in stock A is 0%.
