Suppose that many stocks are traded in the market and that it is possible to borrow at the risk-free rate, rƒ. the characteristics of two of the stocks are as follows: stock expected return standard deviation a 8 % 40 % b 13 % 60 % correlation = –1 a. calculate the expected rate of return on this risk-free portfolio? (hint: can a particular stock portfolio be substituted for the risk-free asset? ) rate of return % b. could the equilibrium rƒ be greater than 10%? yes no

Add the mips assembly language instructions (after main: ) to complete the following (in this order). do not skip steps. use other registers as needed. actions: 1. initialize the register $s0 to 35 2. prompt the user to enter a number, read the number and then put it into register $s1 3. prompt the user to enter a number, read the number and then put it into register $s2 4. store the value in $s1 into the memory at address 0x10010000. 5. store the value in $s2 into the memory at address 0x10010004. 6. calculate the value of $s0 - $s1 $s2 and store the result in the memory at address 0x10010008. 7. print the following output each on its own line. you will need to determine the location of each of the strings from the beginning of the memory segment a. your name b. the value in address 0x10010000 c. the value in address 0x10010004 d. the value in address 0x10010008 8. exchange or swap the values in $s1 and $s2 9. set the value in $s0 to -$s0
