VAR methodology
A major investment bank uses the VAR methodology to control the risk of its $1.2 billion portfolio of risky assets. The institution has determined that the acceptable size of a loss has a 1% probability over a 30-day month. The following information for the three stocks are as follow: Wi (weight) σi = (variance) σi,j = (covariance) 0.2 0.2 0.01 = σ1,2 0.5 0.4 0.02 = σ1,3 0.3 0.6 0.04 = σ2,3 a. Calculate value at risk (VAR), using the information provided above?

1. An experiment was conducted to investigate the transient thermal strain behavior of concrete. Two variables thought to affect thermal strain are X, rate of heating (degrees centigrade per minute), and Y, level of lowa (percentage of initial strength) Concrete specimens are prepared and tested under various combinations of heating rate and load, and the thermal strain is determined for each. Suppose the joint probability distribution for X and Y for those specimens that yielded acceptable results is given in...
