Answer:

a. What is the average annual​ return?

average annual return (mean) = (-4.5% + 28.1% + 12.2% + 3.7%) / 4 = 9.875%

b. What is the variance of the​ stock's returns?

variance = [(-4.5% - 9.875%)² + (28.1% - 9.875%)² + (12.2% - 9.875%)²) + (3.7% - 9.875%)²] / 4 = (206.64 + 332.15 + 5.41 + 38.13) / 4 = 582.33 / 4 = 145.5825

c. What is the standard deviation of the​ stock's returns?

standard deviation = √145.5825 = 12.06%

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

Alto's share value =  (2,400 × $24) = $57,600

Alto's total value = Share value + Incremental value of acquisition = $57,600 + $5,500 = $63,100

Net present value (NPV) = Alto's total value - Cost of acquisition =  $63,100 - $63,000 = $100

Therefore, the net present value of acquiring Alto to Solo is $100.
