Answer:
Ans 1)
As Average Annual return increases from Combination A to E we can observe that Standard deviation also increases from A to E
Therefore it is clear that there is positive relationship between the Risk of Caroline's portfolio and the average annual return.
Ans 2)
IF Caroline needs to reduce the risk associated with portfolio combination D from 15 to 5 then he can do 2 things such that he should sell some portion of portfolio invested into stocks and ultimately accept lower returns because as we see in Part 1) answer risk and returns are positively correlated.
Option 2) and Option 3) are correct
Ans 3)
95% confidence interval gives us range of -2*SD, 2*SD
therefore range of return for given scenario with portfolio return equals to 3.5% and SD=5%
(Mean- z value*SD , Mean value*SD)=
(3.5%-2*5% , 3.5%+2*5%)=(-6.5%,13.5%)
Gain of 13.5% and Loss of -6.5%
Answer:
the casualty loss is $8,000
Explanation:
The computation of the casualty loss is given below:
Lower of
= Adjusted basis or decline in FMV
= $10,000 or ($18,000 - $10,000)
= $10,000 or $8,000
= $8,000
hence, the casualty loss is $8,000
The same would be considered and relevant
The other values would be ignored
Answer:
falling unemployment and rising inflation.
Explanation:
Stagflation means that both the inflation and unemployment rate are rising. Before the 1970s, classical economists stated that an inverse relationship existed between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate. This means that when the inflation rate was increasing, the unemployment rate should be decreasing. But reality does not follow theoretical rules.
Answer:
Thus to maximize profit, Santora Company should manufacture Bread machine only.
The unit of Bread machine can be produced in 2,000 machine hours is 8,000 units
Explanation:
The profit for Toaster Ovens and Bread Machines is $10 and $90 respectively; thus
six toaster ovens per machine hour will generate profit of $60 = ($10 *6)
four bread machines per machine hour will generate profit of $360 = ($90 *4)
In the same machine hour the profit from Bread machines are significantly higher then Toaster over. Thus to maximize profit, Santora Company should manufacture Bread machine only.
The unit of Bread machine can be produced in 2,000 machine hours is 8,000 units (= 2,000 * 4)
The profit for 8,000 units of Bread machine is $720,000 = (8,000 * $90)
