Strategies For Increased Profitability

This week we will be discussing strategies for increased profitability through an example, Honeywell. Before we begin, please identify Honeywell’s website ( and review their portfolio of businesses that can be found by exploring its website.

Once you have explored Honeywell’s Portfolio of businesses answer the following questions:

  • In how many different industries is Honeywell involved? 
  • Would you describe Honeywell as a related or unrelated diversification company? 
  • Has Honeywell’s diversification strategy increased profitability over time?

Getting used to your scholarly level of contribution, I want to challenge you to choose two theories to master, and then apply them to what I anticipate to be a lively dialogue between the makers of each of the theories. So your assignment this week sounds simple: read the chapter, love two theories, and provide a dialogue using the main concepts of the theory to explain your case. For example, if your preference is psychoanalysis and humanistic, I want you to base it on the theory and in about five hundred words explain it as a dialogue between Freud and Rogers (the fathers ofpsychodynamic and humanistic theories respectively), assuming what is really going on with you as you stress to succeed in your college life and education. I think you will get a super understanding of the theory if you highlight similarities and differences if any in their approaches and conclusions. You can choose to have a variety of combination and you can make it really fun and informative.

1. Download data for last 3 years for the DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average) and each of the 30 component stocks. Download data from an appropriate financial website such as Google Finance, Yahoo Finance, Quandl, CityFALCON, or another similar source. If you are using the R language, then there are videos in the “Supplemental Videos in R” located in the “Supplemental Materials” at the bottom of the course ware on how to import CSV files into your program. 2. Calculate Monthly returns of the DJIA index and the downloaded stocks over the period under study 3. Calculate mean and standard deviation of monthly returns for the DJIA index 4. Choose an equal weighted portfolio consisting of any 5 random stocks from the DJIA, calculate the mean monthly returns and its standard deviation. Do the same for portfolios of 10,15, 20 and 25 random stocks from the DJIA universe. 5. Calculate tracking errors for each of the portfolios i.e. the margin by which the mean and standard deviation of the portfolio returns diverge from those of DJIA . 6. Graphically represent the tracking error for returns and risk (standard deviation of returns used as a proxy for risk) on y-axis against the sample size of portfolio on the x-axis. Based on the results of your findings, complete the following analysis: 1. What all factors account for the tracking error of the constructed portfolios? 2. What is the relationship between tracking error and portfolio sample size? 3. What might be the most optimal way to decrease tracking error without having to construct a full portfolio matching the entire index NB: Make use of R package or Excel.

Suppose that Lynn enjoys coconut oil in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she must have exactly three spoonfuls of coconut oil for each cup of coffee. Let C be the number of cups of coffee, and O be the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil. Also, let PC be the price of a cup of coffee. Suppose Lynn has $12 to spend on coffee and coconut oil. Also, the price of coconut oil is $.10 per spoonful.

Graph Lynn’s Price consumption curve for prices, P C = $0.60, P C = $.80, and P C = $1.80. Please put the number of cups of coffee (C) on the horizontal axis, and the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil (O) on the vertical axis. Be sure to label your graph carefully and accurately.
