What you’re talking about is Beta. Beta is the ratio of how much a stock changes relative to the market as a whole (NYSE, NASDAQ)

A Beta of 2.0 means it changes (up/down) twice as much as the general market (Dow, S & P, NAS), such as the twitchy, hyper reactive tech stocks ( FAANG’s and also boom-or-bust Big Oil). In other words, high Standard Deviations.

A Beta of 0.5 means it changes (up/down) half as much as the general market. Sleepy blue chips such as GE, AT&T or power utilities fall in that category. Low Standard Deviations

Most stocks by definition pretty much track the market (Beta 1.0) so there are a lot of those. Middling Standard Deviations

So…it is dictated by your risk tolerance.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

7.82%

Explanation:

Given the following :

Par value = 102%

Coupon rate = 8.1%

Period (n) = 10 years

Yield to maturity (YTM) =?

with a face value (F) of $1000

The current price (P) of bond will be:

102% * $1000 = (1.02 * $1000) = $1020

Annual coupon payment = $1000 * 8.1% = $1000 * 0.081 = $81

The YTM formula is given by:

YTM = [ C +( F - P) / n] / [(F + P) / 2)]

YTM= [(81 + (1000 - 1020) / 10] / [(1000 + 1020)/2)]

YTM = [(81 +(-20/10)] / (2020/2)

YTM = [(81 - 2) / 1010]

YTM = 79 / 1010

YTM = 0.078217

YTM =0.078217 * 100

YTM = 7.82%

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

the total overhead cost is $1,560

Explanation:

The computation of the total overhead cost for product X is given below:

Setup cost = 40,000 ÷ 200 × 4 = 800

Ordering cost  = 20,000 ÷ 1,000 × 8 = 160

Maintenance cost  = 50,000 ÷ 5,000 × 50 = 500

Power = 10,000 ÷ 10,000 × 100 = 100

Hence, the total overhead cost is $1,560

patriot [66]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, the missing question read;

Version 1: George walks away. He never talks to Elaine or Jerry again.

Version 2: George confronts Elaine, saying “I am angry about what you have been saying. I do not want you spreading rumors about me. If you have a problem, please see me about it.”

Version 3: George yells at Elaine to shut u.p and then confronts his boss demanding to know why he’s going to be fired.

Version 4: George demands that Elaine tell him where she heard that. Elaine tells him not to worry about it and tries to crack a joke about how much the boss is late.

Answer:

  • <u>Version 1: non-confrontational</u>
  • <u>Version 2: cooperative</u>
  • <u>Version 3: confrontational</u>
  • <u>Version 4: confrontational and cooperative</u>

Explanation:

1. In this scenario it is evident that George avoids confrontation with Elaine. In fact, we are told that "[He] walks away..."

2. In this scenario, however, we notice a cooperative deposition between George and Elaine. He made this lear when he said, "...If you have a problem, please see me about it.”

3. Confrontation occurs in this scenario as we are told that "George... then confronts his boss demanding to know why he’s going to be fired. "

4.  By demanding "that Elaine tells him where she heard that" indicates confrontation. While Elaine's cracking a joke about how much the boss is late shows cooperation.
