Answer:

As a risk minimizer : Stock A  has the lowest standard deviation, thus, it should be chosen, if it is to be held in isolation . Also stock B  has the lowest beta, thus,it should be chosen, if it is to be held as part of a well - diversified portfolio.

The answer is A and B respectively

Explanation:

The standalone risk or standard deviation of the stocks is alleviated for a well diversified investor  . So, in that case, the relevant risk would be the market risk or the beta.

When you see in isolation, relevant risk would be the standard deviation.

Therefore, as a risk minimizer : Stock A  has the lowest standard deviation, thus, it should be chosen, if it is to be held in isolation . Also stock B  has the lowest beta, thus,it should be chosen, if it is to be held as part of a well - diversified portfolio.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The initial deposit should be of: $97,439.62

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

To replace the new machine when it wears out, the company wants to establish a savings account today. The interest rate on the account is 1.9 percent per quarter and the cost of the machinery is $325,000.

To calculate the initial investment required, we need to use a variation on the simple interest future value formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

PV= present value

Isolating PV:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

i= 0.019

n= 4*16= 64

FV= 325,000

PV= 325,000/ (1.019^64)= $97,439.62
