QUESTION 01 (10 points) ‐ Coefficient of Variation (CV) We need to compare volatility of multiple assets. As the assets have dif

ferent variation ranges, e.g. a big stock versus a penny stock, it is useful to look at the coefficient of variation, not the standard deviation, as a measure of volatility. We have the following population data:
Asset A Asset B Asset C
Mean ($) 181.92 0.38 247.19
Standard deviation ($) 23.48 0.09 27.31

(a) Give an equation for the coefficient of variation in percentage terms.
(b) Find volatility of the three assets. Use two decimals for percentages, e.g. 23.76%.
(c) Which asset is the least volatile? Which asset is the most volatile?

Answer:

a, Coefficient of variation

   = <u>Standard deviation</u> x 100

          Mean

b, Coefficient of variation

  Asset A

   Coefficient of variation

   = <u>$23.48</u>   x 100

      $181.92

  = 12.91%

   Asset B

  Coefficient of variation

  = <u>$0.09</u> x 100

     $0.38

 = 23.68%

  Asset C

   Coefficient of variation

  = <u>$27.31 </u>  x 100

     $247.19

  = 11.05%

Asset C is least volatile while Asset B is most volatile

Explanation:

Coefficient of variation is the ratio of standard deviation to mean (expected return) multiplied by 100. It is used to measure the volatility of assets. Asset  C has the least coefficient of variation, thus, it is the least volatile. Asset B has the highest coefficient of variation, which implies that it is the most volatile.

A 180-day $3 million CD has a 4.25 percent annual rate quote. If you buy the CD, how much will you collect in 180 days?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

$3,063,750

Explanation:

A 180 day $3,000,000 CD

Annual rate = 4.25%

Collection in 180 days = ?

$3,000,000 * 4.25% * 180/360

= $3,000,000 *  0.02125

= $63,750

Total amount to collect after 180 days = $3,000,000 + $63,750

Total amount to collect after 180 days = $3,063,750

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

In order to compute the profit, the accountant consider the Explicit cost so,

Explicit Cost = Borrowed amount × Interest rate + Ingredients amount

                     = $30,000 ×  3% + $25,000

                     = $259,000

Where Revenue is $60,000

Profit = Revenue - Explicit Cost

        = $60,000 - $259,000

        = $34,100

Economic Profit is computed as:

Economic Profit = Total Profit - Implicit Cost

                          = $34,100 - $40,600

                          = - $6,500

where

Implicit Cost = Salary + Interest

                = $40,000 + ($20,000 × 3%)

                =  $40,000 + $600

                = $40,600

Therefore, Louis says profit is $34,100 and Greg says she lost $6,500

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Option B 36 months

Explanation:

The reason is that it meets both the budget requirement which is it must be under $250 and must be the one that pays the principle and the interest amount as quickly as possible. So if Markel choses the option with monthly instalments made within 36 which is under $250 then it will also enable him to pay his liabilities as early as possible.
