Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 10CRCT
Earnings and Stock Returns [LO1] As indicated by a number of examples in this chapter, earnings announcements by companies are closely followed by, and frequently result in, share price revisions. Two issues should come to mind. First, earnings announcements concern past periods. If the market values stocks based on expectations of the future, why are numbers summarizing past performance relevant?
Second, these announcements concern accounting earnings. Going back to Chapter 2, such earnings may have little to do with cash flow—so, again, why are they relevant?

Two building owners - Alice and Bob - each own a building worth $1,000,000. They are considering forming a mutual insurance pool. Based on historical data, there are three possible fire damage scenarios for each building in a given year:
No damage: 85% probability
Partial damage: 12% probability, with repair costs of $200,000
Total loss: 3% probability, with a cost of $1,000,000
Calculate the standard deviation of the loss of each owner with pooling (2 buildings together)
Critically evaluate the usefulness of Net Present Value as an investment appraisal.
