- INV 1 5aiv Suppose that you have the following utility function: U=E(r) – ½ Aσ2 and A=3 Suppose that you have $10 million to invest for one year and you want to invest that money into ETFs tracking the S&P 500 (US) and S&P/TSX 60 (Canada) index, which are often used as proxies for the US and Canadian stock markets, respectively, and the Canadian one-year T-bill. Assume that the interest rate of the one-year T-bill is 0.35% per annum. You have found two ETFs that you are interested in. From a set of their historical data between 2001 and 2019, you have estimated the annual expected returns, standard deviations, and covariance as follows: ETFUS : E(r)= 0.070584 standard deviation = 0.173687 ETFCDA : E(r)= 0.073763 standard deviation = 0.16816 Covariance between ETFUS and ETFCDA = 0.02397 What is the standard deviation for ETFCDA?arrow_forwardThis scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of sweatshirts sold and the temperature outside.

By 1992, self-service outlets sold nearly 80% of all US gas, and only New Jersey and Oregon continued to ban self- service sales. Using predictive value for self-service sales for New Jersey and Oregon Johnson and Romeo (2000) estimate that the ban in those two states raised the price by approximately $.03-$.05 per gallon. Why did the ban effect the price? Illustrate using a figure and explain. Show the welfare effects in your figure.
