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 time draft payable to a seller of goods with payment guaranteed by a bank is a:_____.
Alexeev081 [22]

A banker's acceptance is the payment guaranteed by a bank for a time draft that is payable to a seller of the goods.

A banker's acceptance is a short-term investment plan that is created by a company or firm with a guarantee from a bank. It is important that the company or firm is a non-financial firm. It is a guarantee that the bank gives that a buyer will pay the seller the amount at a future date. A good rating is a prerequisite for obtaining the banker's acceptance.

This is very useful, especially during foreign trade. During foreign trade, the creditworthiness of the importer is not known. The period of the banker's acceptance is usually lesser than 180 days. These acceptances are traded at discounts from the face value in the secondary markets. So, the banker's acceptance acts as a negotiable time draft.

This guarantee from the bank is a written promise by the bank to the seller to pay the sum specified if the buyer is not able to do so. This promise is backed by the bank so the seller feels confident in exporting his goods. As it is safe and liquid, the return on the banker's acceptance is low.

Friendly’s Quick Loans, Inc., offers you “seven for nine or I knock on your door.” This means you get $7.00 today and repay $9.0
mina [271]

Answer: Friendly's would say that you were paying an APR of 1485.71%.


We arrive at the answer as follows

First we calculate the dollar interest on the $7 loan and the rate of interest.

Dollar interest = 9 -7 = 2

\mathbf{Rate of interest on the loan = \frac{2}{7}*100 = 28.5714 percent}

This 28.5714% interest is for a loan that lasts for one week.

Since a year has 52 weeks, we can find the APR as \mathbf{28.5714 * 52 = 1485.71 percent}.

You are contemplating adding direct selling activities to your existing bricks-and-mortar retail business to increase sales. You
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

It may be more expensive and time-consuming than using an intermediary

Explanation:

Direct selling makes it hard to reach new customers and also entails spending an extensive time in trying to convince prospective customers before sales is made. Sadly, in some situations, some prospects do not buy in on the intended product and thus, no sale is made and time wasted.
