Answer:
D) Stock prices of companies that announce increased earning in January tend to outperform the market in February.
Explanation:
The above is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. All others are a direct contravention.
<em>The efficient market hypothesis (EMH), also known as the efficient market theory, is a hypothesis that states that the prices of shares contain all information and that consistent alpha generation is impossible.</em>
According to the hypothesis, stocks always trade at their fair value on exchanges, making it impossible for investors to purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices.
This means that it should not be possible to outperform the overall market through professional stock selection or market timing.
The only way according to EMH that an investor can obtain better returns is by purchasing riskier investments.
By implication, this also means that it is not possible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information.
You would note that in the option D, earning (which is a key driver for demand of stock) is announced in one month. The natural reaction would be for the demand for that stock to surge in the next month.
Answer:
There are some other ways to act scenario analysis. The standard method is to decide the standard deviation of regular or monthly safety returns and so calculate what amount is required for this portfolio if each security yields returns that exist two or three standard deviations above and below the average performance. This means the analyst may get a fair amount of certainty considering the difference in the value of the portfolio within a given period, by simulating these extremes. Scenarios being thought may refer to one single variable, e.g., the relative success or failure of the current product launching, or the combination of elements, e.g., those results of the product launch combined with possible changes in the activities of competitor businesses. The purpose is to examine the effects of the more extreme results to define an investment strategy.
Answer: 12%
Explanation:
Stated interest rate is used in the calculation of the annual interest payment.
Interest payment = Face value of bonds * Stated interest rate
Annual Interest payment = Semi annual interest payment * 2
= 12,000 * 2
= $24,000
24,000 = 200,000 * Stated interest
Stated interest = 24,000 / 200,000
= 0.12
= 12%
Answer:
A)$135,000
Explanation:
service fee 250
average wage 175
contribution 75 this is the ammount generate per hour billed
expected hours billed for the year 10,000
hours x contribution per hour = total contribution
10,000 x 75 = 750,000
Operating cost <u> (615,000) </u>
Earnings before taxes 135,000
The answer could be any of these. This is not a fair question.
I believe that question is trying to get you to lean towards answer C because theoretically your family would know your character better than a bank might.
