Answer and Explanation:

Given:

For portfolio A

Expected return of 12%

beta = 0.5

Risk premium for A = ?

For portfolio B

Expected return of 13%

beta = 0.4

Risk premium for B = ?

Risk-free rate of return = 5%

Computation:

For portfolio A

12% = 5% + (0.5 × risk premium for A)

risk premium for A = 14%

For portfolio B

13% = 5% + (0.4 × risk premium for B)

risk premium for B = 20%

short position "A"

Long position "B"

A cylindrical can that has a capacity of 20 m3 will be made. The metal used to build the top costs $10 per square meter while th
Alchen [17]

The dimensions of the cylinder can be used to minimise cost of manufacture.

<h3>How to we find minimised cost?</h3>

Let's ignore the metal's thickness and assume that the material cost to manufacture is precisely proportionate to the surface area of a perfect cylinder.

A=2πr(r+h)

Given that V=1000=r2h and h=1000=r2, we can write

A=2πr(r+1000πr2)

A=2πr2+2000r−1

By setting the derivative to zero, we may determine the value of r that minimises A:

A′=4πr−2000r−2

0=4πr−2000r−2

2000r−2=4πr

2000=4πr3

r=500π−−−√3

r=5.419 + cm

h=1000πr2=10.838 + cm

The can with the smallest surface area has a volume of 1000 cm 3 and measures 5.419+ cm in radius and 10.838+ cm in height. The can has a surface area of 553.58 cm 2. Given a constant volume, the cylinder with diameter equal to height has the least surface area.

Can surface area (cm2) versus. radius (cm), where capacity = 1000cm 3.

Your father paid $10,000 (cf at t = 0) for an investment that promises to pay $750 at the end of each of the next 5 years, then
natta225 [31]

From the problem statement it is clear that here we need to find out simple interest rate. 
One do not get interest on any investment made at the end of tenure.  
Putting this mathematically:
 Let amount at the end of 5th year as A 
Simple Interest for 5 years, SI = 750 *5
 SI = 3750
 Hence A = 10000 +3750
 A= 13750
 Let rate of return = R
 Tenure t = 5
 But,
  A = P(1 + R*t/100)
 13750 = 10000( 1+ R*5/100)
 13750 = 10000 + 50000R/100
 3750 = 500R
 R = 3750/500
 R = 7.5 %
 
 Hence rate of return is 7.5% per annum (answer)
