HOW TO DO B PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL

One measure of the risk or volatility of an individual stock is the standard deviation of the total return (capital appreciation plus dividends) over several periods of time. Although the standard deviation is easy to compute, it does not take into account the extent to which the price of a given stock varies as a function of a standard market index, such as the S&P 500.

As a result, many financial analysts prefer to use another measure of risk referred to as beta. Betas for individual stocks are determined by simple linear regression. The dependent variable is the total return for the stock and the independent variable is the total return for the stock market. For this case problem we will use the S&P 500 index as the measure of the total return for the stock market, and an estimated regression equation will be developed using monthly data. The beta for the stock is the slope of the estimated regression equation (b1). The data contained in the file named Beta provides the total return (capital appreciation plus dividends) over 36 months for eight widely traded common stocks and the S&P 500.

The value of beta for the stock market will always be 1; thus, stocks that tend to rise and fall with the stock market will also have a beta close to 1. Betas greater than 1 indicate that the stock is more volatile than the market, and betas less than 1 indicate that the stock is less volatile than the market. For instance, if a stock has a beta of 1.4, it is 40% more volatile than the market, and if a stock has a beta of .4, it is 60% less volatile than the market.

Managerial Report

You have been assigned to analyze the risk characteristics of these stocks. Prepare a report that includes but is not limited to the following items.

A (30 points). Compute descriptive statistics for each stock and the S&P 500. Comment on your results. Which stocks are the most volatile?

B (30 points). Compute the value of beta for each stock. Which of these stocks would you expect to perform best in an up market? Which would you expect to hold their value best in a down market?

C (40 points). Comment on how much of the return for the individual stocks is explained by the market.

Why did the firm replaced the previous manager and promoted you? Explain in detail.

You were recently promoted to a management position of a firm that produces a certain popular widget, replacing the previous manager.  The firm uses only two types of labor when producing the product: experienced workers and unskilled workers. The firm can hire as many workers as needed. Unskilled workers are paid a wage of $10 per hour and experienced workers $50 per hour.

In your initial analysis, you learn that at the current amounts of labor, the marginal product of unskilled labor is 50 and a marginal product of experienced labor is 100.

Why did the firm replaced the previous manager and promoted you? Explain in detail.

Jane was riding her horse on a warm sunny day (101 degrees Fahrenheit) when suddenly her horse stopped and reared up in the air. Jane was not prepared for this and fell hard backwards into the ground. As she hit the ground Jane's leg was gashed open by a large, sharp boulder that she fell next to. Jane began to bleed severely. Jane's pulse seems to be low and her respiratory rate is at 22 bpm.

Firm "Challenger Inc". uses two inputs (input K1 & input K2) to produce its final good (Q). Specifically, it needs two (2) units of input K1 and one (1) unit of input K2 to produce one unit of its final good. The production function as this function by the Managerial Director of Challenger Inc.: Q = F( K1, K2 ) = Min( 0.5K1 , K2 )

A- Draw Isoquant curves of this production function (K2 on the vertical axis and K1 on the horizontal axis).

B- The firm is currently producing 10 units of the final good (Q). If the price of both inputs (K1 and K2) is equal to 10, what is the minimum total expenditure the firm needs to incur to produce the 10 units of Q output?

C-Now suppose Challenger Inc. has a budget of $ 450 and the prices of inputs K1 and K2 have not changed. What is the maximum number of units of the final good the firm can produce?

D- If the firm’s budget was $459, would your answer in part c change? (Note: You can only produce integer units of Q output).

E- Refer to Part C. If Challenger Inc.'s budget was $468, would your answer in part c change? (Note: You can only produce integer units of Q output).
