Problem 1. The non-linear, ordinary differential equation characterizing the Solow-Model without population or technical growth has the following form: f(kt)=kt+1=skt+(1)kt where kt is the stock of capital at time t. It holds that s(0,1),(0,1), (0,1) (a) Compute the steady state level of capital k (b) Compute the first-order Taylor series expansion of equation (1) around the steady state to find a linear approximation around it 1. (c) Assume that the economy is initially in k0. By using the result from (b), which is given in footnote 1 , after how many periods T>0 has the economy covered half the distance to the steady state (i.e. for which T is k~T=kTk=21(k0k)) ? (25 points) The stocks of Apple and Amazon are expected to have the following returns (%) depending on the state of the economy next year: (a) What are the expected returns of Apple and respectively Amazon for next year? (b) Which of the two stocks is riskier? (c) What is the expected return of a portfolio that is 80% invested in Apple and 20% invested in Amazon? (d) What is the risk of the portfolio that is 80% invested in Apple and20\%invested in Amazon? (e) Rank the three possible investments (1001% invested in either company or the portfolio) in the order of your preference. Justify. Explanation Please refer to solution in this step.
