Suppose that the index model for two Canadian stocks HD and ML is estimated with the following results: RHD =-0.03+2.10RM+eHD R-squared =0.7 RML =0.06+1.60RM+eML R-squared =0.6 σM =0.15 where M is S&P/TSX Comp Index and RX is the excess return of stock X. What is the covariance and the correlation coefficient between HD and ML? For portfolio P with investment proportion of 0.4 in HD and 0.6 in ML, calculate the systematic risk, non-systematic risk, and total risk of P.

The rate of increase of COVID-19 infection is directly proportional to the number of people infected and to the number people not yet infected. An isolated remote barangay of population 10,000 records its first case on June 15, 2020. After two days, 100 people are infected. Develop a model that predicts the number of COVID-19 cases in the barangay. How long will it take for 90% of the population to be infected? Assume that the virus persists in the person infected.

An economist wants to compare the economic growth rate (%) within 50 kilometers and 100 kilometers to cities in a country. He collected 6 cities of the country, and calculated the growth rates with 50km and 100km as shown in the following table. Choose an appropriate test to validate that regions within 100km have higher economic growth rate than the regions within 50km to cities. You can make certain assumptions, but need to write to indicate your assumption. Show calculations by hand.
Run a simple linear regression in SPSS to know if previous experience (‘prevexp’: Previous Experience-months) significantly predicts current salary(‘salary’: Current Salary) in the work force . Use α =.05 Is the regression equation significant? That is, does Previous Experience explains (or predicts) a significant amount of variability in Current Salary?

The Capital Asset Price Model (CAPM) is a financial model that attempts to predict the rate of return on a financial instrument, such as a common stock, in such a way that it is linearly related to the rate of return on the overal market. Specifically, RStockAiBo + BR Markets + e You are to study the relationship between the two variables and estimate the above model: R StockAi-rate of return on Stock A for month i, i = 1,2,---, 59. RMarket-market rate of return for month i, i=1,2,..., 59. B₁ represent's the stocks 'beta' value, or its systematic risk. It measure's the stocks volatility related to the market volatility. Bo represents the risk-free interest rate. The data in the .csv file contains the data on the rate of return of a large energy company which will be referred to as Acme Oil and Gas and the corresponding rate of return on the Toronto Composite Index (TSE) for 59 randomly selected months. Therefore Re, represents the monthly rate of return for a common share of Acme Oil…
