The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
That answer is True because it says that the lowest possible quality and it is true
Answer:
The correct answer is C. Is top management committed to the study?
Explanation:
Market research is the process that includes the actions of identification, collection, analysis and dissemination of information with the purpose of improving marketing decision making. Its implementation occurs basically for two reasons:
1. to solve problems, for example, determine the potential of a market.
2. to identify problems, for example, to know why a product does not have the expected consumption. In essence, it seeks to meet the customer thus complying with the first premise of marketing.
That is why managers and researchers continually focus on the search for those practices that will allow them to improve the organization and direction of their processes and therefore increase their likelihood of success.
$160000 x 1.06 = $169600
$169600 - 160000 = $ 9600 per year
$9600 / 12 = $ 800 per month
160000 / 360 month = $ 444.44 per month
800 + 444.44 = $ 1244.44 monthly peyment
