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%
I inferred want to know more about free trade agreements.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Put simply, a <u>free trade agreement</u> occurs between two or more countries, in which the agreement removes barriers of trade (imports and exports) between the Countries.
For example, if country A sells shoes to country B, <em>under</em> a free trade agreement there will be no government tariffs imposed by country B on the goods imported from country A.
frank and john can refer to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to understand how government economists view the price situation, GDP accounts for changes in price level and provide a more accurate figure of economic activities over a given period of time.
Answer:
it decreased
Explanation:
the graph shows that the line went down therefore showing it decreased
To enhance our ability to assess and manage risk in specific driving situations we should assume that a dangerous situation may occur.
Given an incomplete sentence related to the ability to manage and assess the risk in specific driving situations.
We are required to fill the blank given in the sentence so that the sentence will give adequate meaning.
The words which are to be filled in the sentence are "assume that a dangerous situation may occur",
While driving there is a risk of accident so when someone is assessing the risk of specific driving then he has to take in consideration that any dangerous situation can occur. We know that the thinking that the accident may occur is negative but an analysts has to think multidimensional.
Hence to enhance our ability to assess and manage risk in specific driving situations we should assume that a dangerous situation may occur.
