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.

Number of shares authorized are 4,000,000

--------

How many shares were issued?

Number of shares issued are 2,080,000

--------

How many shares are outstanding?

Number of shares outstanding = Number of shares issued - Numberof shares repurchased

Number of shares outstanding = 2,080,000 - 80,000

Number of shares outstanding = 2,000,000

--------

What is the balance of the Common Stock account?

Balance of common stock = Number of shares issued * Parvalue

Balance of common stock = 2,080,000 * $1

Balance of common stock = $2,080,000

--------

What is the balance of the Treasury Stock account?

Balance of treasury stock = Number of shares repurchased * Priceper share

Balance of treasury stock = 80,000 * $25

Balance of treasury stock = $2,000,000

--------

2)

June 12:  Issued 50,000 shares of $3 stated value common stock for cash of $250,000.

Cash; 250,000

Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par--Common Stock 50,000 x 3 = 150,000

Common Stock: 100,000

July 11:  Issued 2,000 shares of $100 par value preferred stock for cash at $108 per share.

cash: 2000 x 108 = 216,000

preffered stock : 2,000 x 100 = 200,000

Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par--Preferred Stock : 16,000

Nov. 28: Purchased 2,000 shares of treasury stock for $10,000.

Among fatal plane crashes that occurred during the past 55 ​years, 619 were due to pilot​ error, 85 were due to other human​ err
sergey [27]

Answer:

Relative Frequency = Observed value for each cell / Total frequency * 100

Cause                       Relative Frequency

Pilot Error                           619

Other human error             85

Weather                              574

Mechanical problems        566

Sabotage                            524

Total                                   2368

The total frequency is 2368

The calculation of the relative frequency distribution is

Cause                          Relative Frequency           Result

Pilot Error                         619/2368 * 100              26.14%

Other human error           85/2368 * 100               3.59%

Weather                            574/2368 * 100             24.24%

Mechanical problems      566/2368 * 100             23.90%

Sabotage                          524/2368 * 100             <u>22.13%</u>

Total                                                                          100%

Conclusion: The most serious threat to aviation safety is the Pilot error as it has the highest frequency. Pilot need to be more equipped with understanding and knowledge of how to deal with unexpected event i.e. turbulence, engine failure among others..

A store accidentally priced an item at $20 instead of $30 and honored the mispricing. where should the $10 difference
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The difference is attributed to sales.

Explanation:

The difference of $10 will be attributed to sales because $20 is charged instead of $30 which means selling price has been changed. However, it cannot be considered as a loss because the cost price is not given. It might be the actual cost price for the item is $15 and the store is selling at $20 instead of $30. So, in this case, the store is making a profit of $5. Thus, the difference is considered as the sale difference.

The Nearside Co. just paid a dividend of $1.20 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of
timurjin [86]

Answer:

$20.80 and $29.61

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

Current price is

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Next year dividend is

= $1.20 + $1.20 × 4%

= $1.20 + $0.048

= $1.248

So, the current price is

= $1.248 ÷ (10% - 4%)

= $20.80

Now the price in 10 years is

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Next year dividend is

= $1.20 × 1.04^10

= $1.20 × 1.4802442849

= $1.7762931419

So, the price in 10 years is

= $1.7762931419  ÷ (10% - 4%)

= $29.61
