Assume that stock market returns have the market index as a common factor, and that all stocks in the economy have a beta of 1.4 on the market index. Firm-specific returns all have a standard deviation of 34%.
Suppose that an analyst studies 20 stocks, and finds that one-half have an alpha of +2.2%,and the other half an alpha of –2.2%. Suppose the analyst buys $1.0 million of an equally weighted portfolio of the positive alpha stocks, and shorts $1.0 million of an equally weighted portfolio of the negative alpha stocks.
a.
What is the expected profit (in dollars) and standard deviation of the analyst’s profit? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Expected profit (in dollars) $
Standard deviation $
b.
How does standard deviation change if the analyst examines 50 stocks instead of 20 stocks? 100 stocks? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
50 stocks 100 stocks
Standard deviation $ $

1. consider a two-firm industry. firm 1 (the incumbent) chooses a level of output qı. firm 2 (the potential entrant) observes qı and then chooses its level of output q2. the demand for the product is p 100 q, where q is the total output sold by the two firms which equals qi +q2. assume that the marginal cost of each firm is zero. a) find the subgame perfect equilibrium levels of qi and q2 keeping in mind that firm 1 chooses qi first and firm 2 observes qi and chooses its q2. find the profits of the two firms-n1 and t2- in the subgame perfect equilibrium. how do these numbers differ from the cournot equilibrium? b) for what level of qi would firm 2 be deterred from entering? would a rational firm 1 have an incentive to choose this level of qi? which entry condition does this market have: blockaded, deterred, or accommodated? now suppose that firm 2 has to incur a fixed cost of entry, f> 0. c) for what values of f will entry be blockaded? d) find out the entry deterring level of q, denoted by q1', a expression for firm l's profit, when entry is deterred, as a function of f. for what values of f would firm 1 use an entry deterring strategy?
