- What makes for a good investment? Use the approximate yield formula or a financial calculator to rank the following investments according to their expected returns. Buy a stock for $30 a share, hold it for three years, and then sell it for $60 a share (the stock pays annual dividends of $2 a share). Buy a security for $40, hold it for two years, and then sell it for $100 (current income on this security is zero). Buy a one-year, 5 percent note for $1,000 (assume that the note has a $1,000 par value and that it will be held to maturity).arrow_forwardAssume that you’ve just inherited $500,000 and have decided to invest a big chunk of it ($350,000, to be exact) in common stocks. Your objective is to build up as much capital as you can over the next 15 to 20 years, and you’re willing to tolerate a “good deal’’ of risk. What types of stocks (blue chips, income stocks, and so on) do you think you’d be most interested in, and why? Select at least three types of stocks and briefly explain the rationale for selecting each. Would your selections change if you were dealing with a smaller amount of money—say, only $50,000? What if you were a more risk-averse investor?arrow_forwardTwo-Asset Portfolio Stock A has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 40%. Stock B has an expected return of 18% and a standard deviation of 60%. The correlation coefficient between Stocks A and B is 0.2. What are the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio invested 30% in Stock A and 70% in Stock B?arrow_forward
