A stock produced returns of 14 percent, 17percent, and -1 percent over three of the past four years, respectively. The arithmeti

mariarad [96]

Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Arithmetic return = Total return/Total time period

6% = (14% + 17% - 1% + x%) / 4

(6%*4) =30% + x

24% = 30% + x

x = (24% - 30%)

x = -6%

For the standard deviation, we need to use stdev.s function in Ms Excel

Standard deviation = stdev.s (14%,17%,-1%,-6%)

Standard deviation = 0.112249722

Standard deviation = 11.23%

So, the standard deviation of the stock's returns for the four-year period is 11.23%.

You purchased an annual interest coupon bond one year ago that had six years remaining to maturity at that time. The coupon inte

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "8%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Number of years of maturity = 5 years

Interest rate of coupon = 10%

= 10%×1000

= 100

Yield to maturity, YTM = 8%

As we know,

Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Per Value

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒ = $\frac{100\times (1-(1+8 \ percent^{-5}))}{8 \ percent} +\frac{1000}{1+8 \ percent^{5}}$

⇒ = $1079.85$

After 1 years, we get

Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Per Value

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒ = $\frac{100\times (1-(1+8 \ percent^{-4}))}{8 \ percent} +\frac{1000}{1+8 \ percent^{4}}$

⇒ = $1066.24$

Now,

The total return rate = $\frac{(1066.24-1079.85+100)}{1079.85}$

= $\frac{86.39}{1079.85}$

= $8 \ percent$

Choose the preferred sentence from each pair and justify your choice. a. (1) Lindsay's request to telecommute was denied, but sh

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(2). Although her request to telecommute was denied, Lindsay will begin a flextime schedule in two weeks.

Explanation:

The second choice would be the most preferred as it conveys the idea in a formal and precise manner. The complex sentence beginning with the subordinate clause already hints the listener that the key message is yet to come. It helps him/her in understanding the intended message without any confusion. The first sentence fails to create that specificity as it connects two independent ideas which remove the listener's focus from the main idea i.e. 'she will begin a flextime schedule in two weeks.' Thus, option (2) adopts the correct format and sentence structure to deliver the message effectively, efficiently, and precisely.

Nady [450]

Answer: $18,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Began 2018 with a Normal balance = $5,000

Ended 2018 with a normal balance = $11,000

Unearned Revenue account was credited = $24,000

Revenue earned by professor in 2018 :

= Beginning unearned revenue + Advance payments - Ending unearned revenue

= $5,000 + $24,000 - $11,000

= $18,000

Therefore, $18,000 revenue earned by professor in 2018.
