Can you assist with question 7.
1) what is the expected return rate for stock A 2) what is the expected return rate for stock B 3) what is the standard deviation of returns for stock A 4) what is the standard deviation of returns for stock B.
Marduk Company has a beta of 1. If the expected return on the market is 0.107, what is the expected return on Marduk Company’s stock? Instruction: Type your answer as a decimal, and round to three decimal places
1. If a company has a Beta = 1.7, this stock is riskier than the S&P 500 index. That means its price fluctuates more than the market average. We can also say that the company’s stock price is more volatile than average. What’s good about a Beta > 1 and what’s bad about it? 2. T or F? Higher risk investments give the investor a higher return. If this is true, why don’t we all invest in the riskiest investments we can find? What’s the difference between fundamental analysis and technical analysis? Don’t simply define them both. Figure out what’s different. 3. If the value > price, then BUY according to value investors If the value < price, the DON’T BUY or maybe sell or hold according to value investors Would “momentum” investors say Buy or Don’t Buy? What would “income investors” want to know in order to make a BUY decision?
