Answer 1

Answer:

The Jensen measure of performance evaluation for Sooner Stock Fund is 2.6%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the  the Jensen measure of performance evaluation for Sooner Stock Fund we would have to calculate Jensen's Alpha as follows:

Jensen's Alpha = R(i) - [R(f) + {B x (R(m) - R(f))}]

Jensen's Alpha= 20% - [3% + {1.8 x (11% - 3%)}]

 Jensen's Alpha= 20% - [3% + 14.4%] = 20% - 17.4%

  Jensen's Alpha= 2.6%

The Jensen measure of performance evaluation for Sooner Stock Fund is 2.6%
