differ slightly from those in the book because their expected excess returns and covariances have been calculated in another spreadsheet and are shown in rounded form. For a good summary of how these calculations are done‚ see BKM‚ pp. 234-239. The solutions I obtained are given in the table below. There may be some variation from these results if you started with different initial weights. Such variations are to be expected in a multidimensional optimization problem. Long/Short Min. Var.

The Fisher equation relates nominal rates required by investors to real rates required by investors and inflation. You can think about this from two perspectives: i. Ex-ante

Discuss the cause of the Tacoma bridge disaster‚ in terms of waves‚ vibrations‚ and resonance. Elaborate the effects with relevant equations and formulae. The Tacoma bridge collapse can be attributed to the waves caused by the buildup of energetic vibrations. These energetic vibrations were built up from the bridge “taking energy from the steadily blowing wind” (Crowell). Eventually enough of these energetic vibrations built up to cause resonance within the system‚ causing the wave-like motion

three years to see the benefits. Discussion Board 1 The strategy of a startup company I worked for 20 years ago was extremely narrow‚ and focused on a very niche market. The strategy was actually more emergent than intended as it was not the “result of careful deliberation” (Johnson‚ Scholes & Whittington‚ 2008‚ p. 400)‚ but rather was the outcome of ideas and plans that developed over time. The intent of the company was to develop software for the hospital food service industry to assist in ordering
