Answer: The standard deviation of the stock is 3.23 percentage
Explanation:
First we shall calculate the epected weighted average return of the stock.
We shall multiply the probability of the scenario with its expected return and then take the sum of the expected returns of different scenarios,
E(x) = (0.2 x 14%) + (0.7 x 8%) + (0.1 x 2%)
E(x) = 8.6%
We shall use the follwing formula to calculate the Variance of the stock,
σ²(x) = ∑ P(
) × [ - E(r)]²
σ²(x) = (0.2) (0.14 - 0.086)² + (0.7) (0.08 - 0.086)² + (0.1) (0.02 - 0.086)²
σ²(x) = 0.001044
To find the standar deviation,
σ(x) = 
σ(x) = 0.0323109
in percentage it would be 3.23%
Answer:
225,000 shares
Explanation:
A company's shares outstanding refers to the total number of shares investors currently own.
Beck Corp. issued 200,000 shares of common stock when it began operations in year 1 and issued an additional 100,000 shares in year 2.
In year 3, Beck purchased 75,000 shares of its common stock and held it in Treasury.
At December 31, year 3, the number of shares of Beck's common stock were outstanding is
200,000 shares in year 1
100,000 shares in year 2
Total Common Stock = 300,000
less: Treasury Stock of 75,000
Outstanding Stock = 225,000 shares

Depending on whether you are an investor or the corporation, a bond is more or less riskier than a stock.
If you are an investor, buying a bond is safer than buying stock since in a worse case scenario where the company goes bankrupt, bond holders are paid before than stockholders. Also bonds provide fixed periodic payments (coupons) and a final payment of the face of the bond at maturity date.
If you are the corporation, issuing bonds is riskier than issuing stock since you have the obligation of making fixed periodic payments to bondholders (coupons) and must pay the face value at maturity date. On the other hand corporations don't have any legal obligation to pay dividends.
