Answer: The standard deviation of the stock is 3.23 percentage
Explanation:
First we shall calculate the epected weighted average return of the stock. 
We shall multiply the probability of the scenario with its expected return and then take the sum of the expected returns of different scenarios, 
E(x) = (0.2 x 14%) + (0.7 x 8%) + (0.1 x 2%)
E(x) = 8.6%
We shall use the follwing formula to calculate the Variance of the stock,
σ²(x) = ∑ P( ) × [
) × [ - E(r)]²
 - E(r)]²
σ²(x)  = (0.2) (0.14 - 0.086)² + (0.7) (0.08 - 0.086)² + (0.1) (0.02 - 0.086)²
σ²(x) = 0.001044
To find the standar deviation,
σ(x) = 
σ(x) = 0.0323109
in percentage it would be 3.23%

Explanation:
In finance, the cost of equity is the Cost of Equity is the rate of return which an organization pays those that invested in equity. The organization uses cost of equity to check how attractive investments are.

Answer:
$23,709
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Amount of bond issued = $700,000
Duration = 5 years
Interest rate = 8%
Selling amount of bond = $728,700
Market rate of interest = 7%
Now,
Interest paid = Amount of bond issued × Interest rate 
= $700,000 × 0.08
= $56,000
Interest expense = Amount of bond sold × Market Interest rate 
= $728,700 × 0.07
= $51,009
unamortized premium = Selling amount of bond -  Amount of bond issued
= $728,700 - $700,000
= $28,700
Amortized amount = Interest paid - Interest expense
= $56,000 - $50,009
= $4,991
Balance  of the premiums on bonds payable account immediately following the first interest payment
= unamortized premium - Amortized amount
= $28,700 - $4,991
= $23,709
