Answer:

What is the arithmetic return for the stock?

arithmetic returns basically refer to the mean (or average) of the returns = (16% + 12% + 19% + 17% + 18% - 1%) / 6 = 81% / 6 = 13.5%

What is the geometric return for the stock?

geometric returns involves multiplying the returns and then squaring them = ⁶√(1.16 x 1.12 x 1.19 x 1.17 x 1.18 x 0.99) - 1 = 1.1328 - 1 = 0.1328 = 13.28%

Normally, geometric returns are lower than arithmetic returns, and they represent compounding rates.

2. Bench trial -> C. Judge decides

Short Explanation:

Suppose A is plaintiff and B is defendant.

A files a complaint saying that B has done something wrong to me, to which B Answers and denies the claim of A. Then both parties A and B start to discover evidence against each other. Mediation usually happens at this stage when both parties know their position. If mediation fails then bench trial starts where a civil judge decides the verdict.

Detailed Explanation:

The litigation (means a case or lawsuit) process starts when a complaint is filed by a plaintiff (person who brings a case against someone in court of law) stating the alleged wrongdoings done by the defendant. He claims to be given relief against the wrongs done by the defendant.

Then defendant responds with an Answer in which he clarifies or point out incorrect allegations or denies all the accusations one by one made against him. If defendant finds a strong case against himself then he goes for mediation otherwise he proceeds towards discovery.

Discovery is the legal term used for finding and gathering of all sort of evidence or information. Examples of discovery are interrogations, depositions, examination reports.

Mediation is the process of dispute resolution where both parties appear in front of a neutral mediator and try to resolve the issue without going to trial. Everyone tries to avoid going to trail because it is expensive and time consuming therefore, many lawsuits get resolved without going into the trial.

When mediation fails then the final solution is to go for a trail. A bench trial means a trial in which a judge decides the verdict (no jury).

Note: Mediation means settlement and it can happen at any stage when both parties agree to a certain solution,
