A portfolio has a risk free rate of 3.5%, an expected return of 12.9%, and a sharpe ratio measure of 2.99. Find the standard deviation of the portfolio return.

Answers

Answer 1

The standard deviation of the portfolio return is 3.14%

What is Sharpe ratio?

Sharpe ratio measures the by extent to which the risk of an investment portfolio is compensated as it indicates the return per unit of risk inherent in the portfolio whereas the standard deviation measures the risk of expected return of the portfolio.

It should be noted that the Sharpe ratio can be determined as the expected return of the portfolio minus the risk-free rate of return divided by the standard deviation of the portfolio.

Sharpe ratio=(expected return-risk-free rate)/standard deviation

Sharpe=2.99

expected return=12.9%

risk-free rate=3.5%

standard deviation=unknown(assume it is x)

2.99=(12.9%-3.5%)/x

2.99*x=9.40%

x=9.40%/2.99

x=3.14%

Find the distance between the pair of points, Use the distance formula.

Show your work.

(-12,20) and (-22,16)

Answers

Answer:

  10.770

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the distance between points (-12,20) and (-22,16) using the distance formula.

Distance between points

The distance formula gives you the distance (d) between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

For the given points, the distance is ...

  d = √((-22-(-12))² +(16 -20)²) = √((-10)² +(-4)²) = √(100+16)

  d = √116 = 2√29 ≈ 10.770330

The missing values are x = 45, t = 90, n = 60, p = 75, m = 30, s = 15, k = 135, w = 30, f = 60 and y = 45.

How to determine the values of the missing angles

Herein we have a geometrical system formed by six triangles, one of them is a equilateral triangle and other one is a right triangle. By geometry we know that the sum of the measures of a triangle is equal to 180°, the angles in a equilateral triangle have the same measure and one of the angles in a right triangle is a right angle.

Then, we have following system of linear equations:

t = 90                              (1)

t + 2 · x = 180                  (2)

3 · n = 180                       (3)

2 · p + m = 180                (4)

p + f + y = 180                 (5)

(t + 5) + w + n = 180        (6)

s + k + m = 180                (7)

x + n + p = 180                (8)

f + w = 90                        (9)

m + n = 90                      (10)

p + s = 90                        (11)

By (1) and (2):

x = 45

By (3):

n = 60

By (8):

p = 180 - 45 - 60

p = 75

By (4):

m = 180 - 2 · 75

m = 30

By (11):

s = 90 - 75

s = 15

By (7):

k = 180 - 15 - 30

k = 135

By (6) and (1):

w = 180 - 60 - 90

w = 30

By (9):

f = 90 - 30

f = 60

By (5):

y = 180 - 75 - 60

y = 45

The missing values are x = 45, t = 90, n = 60, p = 75, m = 30, s = 15, k = 135, w = 30, f = 60 and y = 45.

Answers

The coordinate of B is (1,-3)

In coordinate system mid point is the point which is exactly at the middle

The coordinates of point A are (5,1)

The coordinate of  mid point M are (3,-1)

It is to be noted that mid point divides both sides in the ratio 1:1

We are required to find the coordinates of point B

Let the coordinates of B be (x,y)

For mid points, section  formula further simplifies to

m's x coordinate= (a's x coordinate + b's x coordinate)/2

m's y coordinate = (a's y coordinate + b's y coordinate)/2

therefore,

3 = (5+x)/2

6=5+x

x=6-5 =1

-1 = (1+y)/2

-2 =1+y

y=-3

Answer:

B) x ≥ –2 or x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can immediately rule out A) All real numbers, since that will almost never be true for an inequality like this. We can also rule out C) 2 ≤ x < 5, since this is not a compound inequality.

Let's see if B) x ≥ –2 or x < 5 works by plugging in an x value greater than -2 and then, plugging in an x value less than 5.

Plug -1 into x

–4(-1) + 1 ≤ 9

4 + 1 ≤ 9

5 ≤ 9

This is true, 5 is less than 9, so x ≥ –2 works.

Where,

PV=present value

FV=future value

r= rate of interest

n=When frequently the amount compounds

t=time

Given FV=$530.65

r= 5.90% =0.059

t=29 years

n=1(Due to the amount's annual compounding).

PV=[tex]\frac{530.65}{(1+\frac{0.059}{1})^{1\times29} }[/tex]

PV=[tex]\frac{530.65}{(1+0.059)^{29}}[/tex]

A scientist mixes water (containing no salt) with a solution that contains 35% salt. She wants to obtain 210 ounces of a mixture that is 15% salt. How many ounces of water and how many ounces of the 35% salt solution should she use?

Answers

The scientist should use 90 ounces of 35 percent solution and 120 ounces of water.

Percent is defined as the amount for a hundred units. Percentage is calculated by dividing the given amount by the total amount and multiplying by 100.

Let the scientist uses x ounces water.

Therefore the 35 percent solution is 210 - x.

Therefore the amount of salt in the 35 percent solution is 0.35 (210 - x )

The resulting mixture contains 15 percent salt.

Amount of salt = 15% of 210 =0.15 × 210 = 31.5 ounces.

Now 31.5 = 0.35 ( 210 - x )

or, 90 = 210 - x

or, x = 120 ounces

Therefore the 35 percent solution needed = 210 - 120 =90 ounces

Hence the scientist should use 90 ounces of 35 percent solution and 120 ounces of water.

and,

→ $9876 to $29600 at 12% = 2,367.00 was figured out? I never done my own taxes before! I got the first step down, but can someone please explain this to me

Answers

Answer:

  $2367

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know how to figure the 12% tax due on the amount that falls in the bracket $9876 to 29600.

Application

Tax tables are often written in a somewhat misleading way. This one seems to tell you

  0 to 9875 . . . . 10% tax rate

  9876 to 29600 (and up to 40,125) . . . . 12% tax rate

What this means is that every dollar between (and including) the 9876th dollar and the 29600th dollar will have a $0.12 tax applied. It is figured by subtracting 9875 from the amount that falls in this bracket, and multiplying that difference by 12%.

  (29600 - 9875) × 12%

  = 19725 × 0.12

  = 2367 . . . . . . . . tax due on the amount in the 9876 to 29600 bracket

Tax due

If your taxable amount is $29,600, the total tax due is ...

  (amount in first bracket) × 10% + (amount in second bracket) × 12%

  = 9875 × 0.10 + (29600 -9875) × 0.12

  = 987.50 +2367.00

  = $3,354.50 . . . . . . . . . . . total due on $29,600

It can be easier to write a new tax table that simplifies the computation. For taxable amounts up to $40,125, this table can be simplified to ...

10% . . . . for taxable income at or below $9,875.(12% of income) - $197.50 . . . . for taxable income at or below $40,125

Using this last entry for $29,600, we find the total tax due to be ...

  $29,600 × 0.12 - 197.50

  = $3,552.00 -197.50

  = $3,354.50 . . . . . . . same as above.

The amount $197.50 is (12% -10%)×9875.

Along the same lines, the rest of the tax table can be simplified to ...

(22% of income) - $4,210.00(24% of income) - $5,920.50(32% of income) - $18,984.50(35% of income) - $25,205.00(37% of income) - $35,573.00

It turns out that the tax due is the maximum of the values computed using these equations. (You don't actually have to know what bracket applies to your income. Knowing the bracket does simplify the process by choosing the applicable formula.)

Note that this is a tax table for 2020. The rates for 2021 are different.

At 6 AM the temperature was -6 Fahrenheit between 6 AM and 3 PM. The temperature‘s rose 11° between 3 PM and midnight the temperatures fell 7° write a number sentence that shows how to find the temperature at midnight then write the midnight temperature.

Answers

The number sentence is 5 - 7 and temperature at midnight is equal to -2°F .

What is algebra ?

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with various symbols and the arithmetic operations such as addition , subtraction , etc.

The temperatures are given at different time of a day. It is given that the final temperature was the temperature that existed at midnight. Firstly temperature rise between 6 AM and 3PM by 11° from - 6 °F at 6 AM and then between 3PM and midnight it fell by 7°.

So , we can show these variations as follows :

At 6AM temperature = - 6 °F

Between 6AM and 3 PM temperature rose by 11° , so temperature at 3 PM will be :

= - 6 + 11

= 5 °F

Between 3PM and midnight the temperature fell by 7° , so the number sentence will be :

= 5 - 7

And the temperature at midnight will be :

= -2°F

Therefore , the number sentence is 5 - 7 and temperature at midnight is equal to -2°F .

Farmer Brown is making a garden 14 1/2 feet long and 8 3/4 feet wide. He puts up a fence 23 1/2 feet long and 17 3/4 feet wide. What is the distance from the fence to the edge of the garden?

Answers

The distance from the fence to the edge of the garden using the center as reference point is 4 1/2 feet.

Given data

garden 14 1/2 feet long and 8 3/4 feet wide

Fence 23 1/2 feet long and 17 3/4 feet wide

How to find the distance from the fence to the edge of the garden.

We assume:

the fence has no thickness,

the distance considered is in the side of the length

the reference point for the distance is the center

Therefore:

Using the mid points we solve as follows:\

garden length / 2 - fence length / 2

= ( 23 1/2 ) / 2 - ( 14 1/2 ) / 2

= 11.75 - 7.25

= 4.5

= 4 1/2 feet

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 119 square feet. its length is 10 feet longer than the width find the length and the width. Find the length and width of wall of the barn

Answers

The length of the rectangular wall of a barn is 7 and the width is 17 feet

Area of the rectangular wall of a barn = 119 square feet

Length of the wall of the barn = width of barn + 10 feet

Let the width of the wall of the barn be x feet

So, the length of the wall of the barn will be x + 10 feet

The area of the rectangular wall of the barn is given by:

Area of the rectangular wall of the barn = Length of the barn * Width of the barn

119 = x*(x+10)

119 = x^2 +10x

0 = x^2 +10x - 119

Using splitting the middle term method

0 = x^2 + 17x - 7x - 119

0 = x(x + 17) - 7(x + 17)

x = 17 or 7.

Since the width is 10 feet more than the length

Therefore, the length of the rectangular wall of a barn is 7 and the width is 17 feet
