XYZ stock price and dividend history are as follows: YearBeginning-of-Year PriceDividend Paid at Year-End2015 $130 $5 2016 144 5

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Arithmetic mean = 3.67%

Geometric mean = 3.02%

Explanation:

The following sorted data are given in the question:

Year Beginning-of-Year Price Dividend Paid at Year-End

2015 $130 $5

2016 144 5

2017 120 5

2018 125 5

Therefore, we have:

Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years ………....….. (1)

Geometric average return = n * ((1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…(1+rn)^(1/n) - 1 .……….. (2)

Where;

n = years 1, 2, 3….

r1, r2, r3… are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….

Return for each year = ((Current year Beginning-of-Year Price – Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price) + dividend) / Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price .................... (3)

Using equation (3), we have:

2016 Return = ((144 - 130) + 5) /130 = 0.146153846153846

2017 Return = ((120 - 144) + 5) /159 = -0.119496855345912

2018 Return = ((125 - 120) + 5) /120 = 0.0833333333333333

Using equation (1), we have:

Arithmetic mean = (2016 Return + 2017 Return + 2018 Return) / 3 = (0.1461538461538460 - 0.1194968553459120 + 0.0833333333333333) / 3 = 0.0367, or 3.67%.

Using equation (2), we have:

Geometric mean = ((1 + 2016 Return) * (1 + 2017 Return) * (1 + 2018 Return))^(1/3) - 1 = ((1 + 0.146153846153846) * (1 - 0.119496855345912) * (1 + 0.0833333333333333))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.0302, or 3.02%

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: The answer is as follows:

Explanation:

Given that,

Used car $93.38 per month for 60 months

Cash price = $4,200

Down payment = $50

(a) Amount Financed = Total Value (Cash Price) - Down Payment

= 4200 - 50

= $4150

(b) Finance Charge = Total payments - Amount Financed

= 93.38 × 60 - 4150

= 5602.8 - 4150

= $1452.8

(c) Deferred payment price = Down Payment + Total payments

= 50 + 5602.8

= $5652.8

Portfolio managers pick stocks for their clients’ portfolios based on the investment objective of the portfolio and several othe

mariarad [96]

Answer:

False

True

True

False

Explanation:

First one is false because diversification reduces risk because it divides the risk amongst different securities. The portfolio risk will therefore be lower than the average of all stocks' standard deviations.

Second one is true because unsystematic risk is risk that will come with the type of stock or security purchased. It is usually referred to as diversifiable risk because using negatively correlated stocks can help diversify this risk.

Third one is True because the portfolio's risk when diversified is indeed likely to be smaller than the average of all stocks' standard deviation.

Fourth one is false because portfolio risk is <em>reduced</em> if stock that are negatively correlated are put into a portfolio because it means that when one stock is not doing so well, the other being negatively correlated, will be doing fine.
