Homework Answers

Answer #1

1.a.C. You are indifferent because both stock A and stock B had same financial performance.

working;

return on investment = (sale price + dividends - purchase price) / purchase price *100

stock A

total dividends received = $3 *3 years=>$9

=>(25+9-20) / 20*100

=>70%

average annual return = 70%/3 years

=>23.3%.

now,

stock B.

total dividends received = $5*4 years =>$20

.

=> (40+20-31)/31 *100

=>93.55%.

average annual return =93.55% / 4 years

=>23.3%.

1b. False.

Preferred stockholders do not have voting rights.

Common stock holders will have voting rights.

1c.True.

Volatility and standard deviation are closely related, so as the volatility increases the standard deviation increases.
