The Sharpe ratio of a stock is defined as the ratio of the difference between the mean return on the stock and the mean return on government bonds (called the risk-free rate rf ) to the SD of the returns on the stock. The mean return on government bonds is rf = 0.03% per day. The table below describes the daily return of three stocks. Date APPLE.

- Assume that your uncle holds just one stock, East Coast Bank (ECB), which he thinks has very little risk. You agree that the stock is relatively safe, but you want to demonstrate that his risk would be even lower if he were more diversified. You obtain the following returns data for West Coast Bank (WCB). Both banks have had less variability than most other stocks over the past 5 years. Measured by the standard deviation of returns, by how much would your uncle's risk have been reduced if he had held a portfolio consisting of 73% in ECB and the remainder in WCB? (Hint: Use the sample standard deviation formula.) Do not round your intermediate calculations. Year 1 2 3 4 5 Average return = Standard deviation = O a. 5.24 p.p. O b. 0.72 p.p. O c. 2.84 p.p.

Historical data on realized returns is often used to estimate future results. Analysts across companies use realized stock returns to estimate the risk of a stock. Consider the case of Falcon Freight Inc. (FF): Five years of realized returns for FF are given in the following table. Remember: 1. While FF was started 40 years ago, its common stock has been publicly traded for the past 25 years. 2. The returns on its equity are calculated as arithmetic returns. 3. The historical returns for FF for 2014 to 2018 are: 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Stock return 25.00% 17.00% 30.00% 42.00% 13.00% Given the preceding data, the average realized return on FF’s stock is (63.50%, 25.40%, 50.80%, 78.74%) .

Based on this conclusion, the standard deviation of FF’s historical…arrow_forwardThe attached file contains hypothetical data for working this problem. Goodman Corporation’s and Landry Incorporated’s stock prices and dividends, along with the Market Index, are shown in the file.
