Please answer part b 6. Suppose that investing in the bond market has a return with a mean standard deviaticnor.3%. Investing in the stoinnarket has a return with a mean of 3.2%and a standard deviation of 220, (a) What is the coefficient of variation of each return? (b) If the stack return is normally distributed then what is the probability that is greater than the average bond return?
1. The market and Stock A have the following probability distributions: Return on Return on Probability market Stock A 0.2 18% 16% 0.3 12% 14% 1 0 .5 10% 11% a. Calculate the expected rates of return for the market and Stock A. b. Calculate the coefficient of variation for the market and Stock A (Standard deviation for market is 3.0265% and standard deviation for Stock A is 2.0224%).
A certain stock market had a mean return of 2.6% in a recent year. Assume that the returns for stocks on the market were distributed normally, with a mean of 2.6 and a standard deviation of 10. Complete parts (a) through (g) below. a. If you select an individual stock from this population, what is the probability that it would have a return less than 0 (that is, a loss)? The probability is (Round to four decimal places) b. If...
Suppose that the rate of return on stocks is normally distributed with a mean of 9% and a standard deviation of 3%. If I pick five stocks at random, what is the probability that at least two of them will have a return of more than 12%.
Stock A has an expected return of 7%, a standard deviation of expected returns of 35%, a correlation coefficient with the market of -0.3, and a beta coefficient of -0.5. Stock B has an expected return of 12% a standard deviation of returns of 10%, a 0.7 correlation with the market, and a beta coefficient of 1.0. Which security is riskier? Why? 1. Stock A has an expected return of 7%, a standard deviation of expected returns of 35%, a...
EVALUATING RISK AND RETURN Stock X has a 10.5% expected return, a beta coefficient of 1.0, and a 35% standard deviation of expected returns. Stock Y has a 12.5% expected return, a beta coefficient of 1.2, and a 30.0% standard deviation. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 5%. Calculate each stock's coefficient of variation. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations. Cvx= ?Cvy=? C.Calculate each stock's required rate of return.Rx=?...
