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.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A detailed list of the accounts that make up the five financial statement elements.

Explanation:

The company's chart of accounts is the listing of all the accounts that the company has included as part of the five financial statement elements during a specific period of time.

The five financial statement elements are: assets, liabilities, equity (part of the balance sheet), expenses and revenues (part of the income statement).

Examples of accounts that can be part of a firm's chart of accounts are: land (asset), cash (asset), notes payable (liabilities), outstanding stock (equity), operating expenses (expenses), and sales revenue (revenues).

The chart of accounts can differ greatly from company to company simply because companies engage in vastly different economic activities.
