Answer:

32.03%

Explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation is as follows;

As we know that

Average return = Total return ÷Total time period

= (32 + 24 - 48 + 12 - 9) ÷ 5

= 2.2%

Now

Return         (Return - Average Return)^2

32                  (32 - 2.2)^2 = 888.04

24                 (24 - 2.2)^2 = 475.24

-48                (- 48 - 2.2)^2  = 2520.04

12                  (12 - 2.2)^2 = 96.04

-9                   (-9 - 2.2)^2 = 125.44

Total =                 4104.8%

Now

Standard deviation is

= [Total (Return - Average Return)^2 ÷ (Time period- 1)]^(1 ÷ 2)

= [4104.8 ÷ (5 - 1)]^(1 ÷ 2)

= [4104.8 ÷ 4]^(1 ÷ 2)

= 32.03%

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

2.2

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

18% = 7% + Beta × 5%

18% - 7% = Beta × 5%

11% = Beta × 5%

So, the beta would be

= 2.2

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as market risk premium and the same has applied.

You, being a supplier of steak dinners, opened your steak house. Assume the market-clearing price is $20 and the market clearing
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

A) Shortage, B) Fall in Price

Explanation:

A] Market is at equilibrium where - downward sloping Market Demand (inversely related to price), & upward sloping Market Supply (directly related to price) - are equal &  these curves intersect each other.

Above condition gives us equilibrium price & quantity.

If market price < equilibrium price, as given case 15 < 20. Then, supply being directly related to price is lesser, demand being inversely related to price is higher. So, there is a situation of excess demand, ie <u>shortage </u>(graphically denoted by distance between demand & supply curve at actual price below equilibrium price)

B] Dealers of hybrid vehicles increase imply increase in supply of these vehicles, rightwards shift in the supply curve. This creates excess supply ie surplus of them. It implies that competition among sellers lead to <u>fall in price </u>of these hybrid vehicles.

fredd [130]

Answer:

D. focus on adding unique features to her product that customers will value.

Explanation:

Differentiation strategy is the strategy that aims to distinguish a product or service, from other similar products, offered by the competitors in the market. It focuses on the development of a product or service, that is unique for the customers, in terms of product design, features, brand image, quality, or customer service.  

The focus of competition in a differentiation strategy tends to be on unique product features, service, and new product launches, or on marketing and promotion rather than price. A differentiator would focus research and development on product features or packaging in order to add uniqueness.

Hence, Nendry should focus on adding unique features to her product that customers will value.
