Find the expected value of the yearly rate of return of an investment that, for an initial cost of 100, is equally likely to yield either 120 or 100 after 2 years.
Stock A has an expected annual return of 18% and a volatility of 34%. Stock B has an
expected annual return of 12% and a volatility of 28%. The correlation of the returns
of the two stocks is equal to 0.4. Find the expected return of the efficient portfolio
with a volatility of 29%.
solve on paper please
The R-squared of a regression of an asset’s excess returns against a multi-factor asset pricing model indicates the proportion of the asset’s total volatility that is non-systematic.

- How would I find the expected difference of this function?arrow_forwardTrue/False Censoring occurs when the event of interest (e.g., disease status) is observed on every individual, usually due to time constraints. The incidence rate (IR), is computed by taking the ratio of the number of new cases of disease to the total number of person-time units available. The prevalence of a disease depends on the incidence of the disease as well as the duration of the disease.arrow_forwardThe ABC Company is involved in the production and selling of consumer goods, particularly beauty products such as bath soap and shampoo and had registered a positive profit growth for the last 10 years. However, the current year seems to be different from those years as the company is expecting a decline in profit; which is estimated to be about 70% below the target. The manager now is in a dilemma … asking himself/herself “What happened, why this decline in profit?” The Manager then asked the company Accountant to give him/her the data on sales and advertising cost for the last 10 years – he/she wants these data to determine whether the company can live without advertising, as advertising cost happens to be substantial. Justify your answer by doing as step-by-step procedure in Correlation Analysis using a 0.05 level of significance. The data are as follows –arrow_forward

Based on past experience, the data scientist of a retailer store has calculated the loss function to the store from the downtime as C=30X+2X2 where X is the amount of weekly downtime and C is cost. Find the Expected cost, i.e, E(C).arrow_forward
- The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is a financial model that assumes returns on a portfolio are normally distributed. Suppose a portfolio has an average annual return of 14.7% (i.e. an average gain of 14.7%) with a standard deviation of 33%. A return of 0% means the value of the portfolio doesn’t change, a negative return means that the portfolio loses money, and a positive return means that the portfolio gains money. (a) What percent of years does this portfolio lose money, i.e. have a return less than 0%? (b) What is the cutoff for the highest 15% of annual returns with this portfolio?arrow_forwardWhat is the expected completion time of this project?arrow_forwardDiscuss the use of the V-model for predicting the lifetime of product reliability.arrow_forward
