Answer:

Option A is riskier

Explanation:

In this question, we want to know which of the two stocks is riskier.

To answer this, we can use the standard deviation of returns as a risk measure.

For a security with a big value for standard deviation of returns, its per period returns are wider making its range per day large.

Hence, what this means is that out of the two stocks, the one with a larger value of standard deviation of returns will guarantee more risk as it is expected to give a better ranges of price

Now back to the values in the question, we can see that the standard deviation of returns of stock A is greater than that of stock B which this makes it a more risky option

Answer:

The correct option is D, outcome-based ethics.

Explanation:

Duty-based  ethics preaches the idea that one should be seen doing the right thing at all times regardless of the consequences of one's actions, it is unlike the utilitarian approach to ethics where what is wrong or right is a function of having the greatest good for the greatest number of people not minding whether the approach used is wrong or right.

Corporate social responsibility involves the additional efforts put in by corporations in  a bid to give back to society.

Religious ethical principles is about concluding on right or wrong using the lenses of religion.

Outcome-based ethics is a sharp contrast to duty-based ethics, as the outcome or consequence is what justifies the moral right or wrong. in other words the end justifies the means.

a. Calculation of Treynor ratio

Treynor ratio refers to investment measurement that is calculated to show the risk of certain investments after the volatility of the market has been taking into consideration.

Treynor ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Treynor ratio = (Average market return rate - Average Risk Free rate) / Beta = (1.96% - 2.40%) / 87.53% = –0.005

Six years ago a commercial property owner paid $490,000 for her complex which included 10 acres of land valued at $100,000. Usin
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

AS land cannot be depreciated we will first subtract the value of the land from the complex so we are left with $390,000 (490,000-100,000)

In straight line method each year the asset is depreciated by the same amount so in order to find out yearly depreciation we will divide 390,000 by 40

=9750

In 6 years the complex has depreciated for $58,500

So the current value of the apartment complex would be (490,000-58500)

The current value of the apartment complex is $431500

Marsha’s Pet Store employs six employees. Their duties are to sell pets, replenish the stock, keep the pets’ cages clean, feed t
Gemiola [76]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

People sometimes have a tendency of doing only what they are told to do or only what they are paid for. This is why most people who progress in a company do so on the basis of having done work that was not in their description, but would have helped the company progress.

It would appear that Marsha's 6 employees are all of the caliber of employees who just do what they are told and nothing more.

For this reason therefore, she would include a stipulation changing the scheme to include careful performance of the other duties before any sales commission can be earned. This way they'll start to do those other things since they are now paid to do so.
