Answer:
Risk and Return
1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
Explanation:
1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision. Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns. Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote. Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.
2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically. It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.
3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision. Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions. Who are the present managers of the fund? What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal? What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration? These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence. Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Lahdekorpi OY, a Finnish corporation and Three-O Company, a subsidiary incorporated in the United States
Transfer Pricing:
a) The best transfer pricing method in this case is the cost plus method. This gives the transfer price as Cost + 50%.
b) The appropriate transfer price should be $3 ($2 x 1.5).
Explanation:
Transfer pricing arises when controlled entities set prices for exchange of goods and services. When Lahdekorpi OY, a Finnish corporation, sells wooden puzzles to Three-O Company, given their relationship, transfer pricing has arisen. It is the assignment of cost for goods and services exchanged between related parties, like a parent and a subsidiary.
There are many Transfer Pricing methods which entities and the taxing authorities can use to determine the best transfer price. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Multinational Entities and tax authorities can use any of these five main transfer pricing methods:
a) Comparable uncontrolled price (CUP) method. The CUP method is grouped by the OECD as a traditional transaction method (as opposed to a transactional profit method)
b) Resale price method
c) Cost plus method
d) Transactional net margin method (TNMM)
e) Transactional profit split method.
