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.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

The multiple choices are as follows:

Group of answer choices:

A. Present Value

B. Future Value

C. Discounted Value

D. Annuity

E. Lump Sum

The correct option is C,discounted value

Explanation:

The worth of the cash flow which is $1,000 is given with reference to the worth in 5 years' terms,hence restating the cash flow to its worth in two years' time is discounting to its two years' worth.

The answer cannot be present value since the cash flow is not being discounted to today's equivalent amount.

Also,future value is not correct since future value of $1,000 is already provided in the question

Trend percents, often known as index numbers, can be described as percents that are used for comparing financial data across time to a based year or period. This can be calculated using the following formula:

Trend percents = (Analysis year amount / Base year amount) * 100 ........ (1)

A farmer grows a bushel of wheat and sells it to a miller for $1. The miller turns the wheat into flour and then sells the flour
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: Value added by farmer = $1 Value added by miller = $2  Value added by the baker =  $3

GDP contribution is $6.

Explanation: GDP refers to the market value of final goods and services produced withing the national territory of a country.

Using the value added method, we can calculate GDP by summing up the value added at each level of production.

Value added by farmer = $1 Value added by miller = $3 -$1 = $2  Value added by the baker = $6 - $3 = $3

GDP = Value added by the farmer +Value added by the miller + Value added by the baker  = $1 + $2 +$3 =$6

Or

Using the expenditure approach, GDP is the market value of the final good sold to the customer.

GDP = Cost of bread to the engineer = $6
