A stock has monthly returns of 9%, 22%, 15%, and 28%. What is the stock's geometric average
return?
A proposed project has the following cash flow estimates. Assuming independent cash flows, a normally distributed net present value, and a minimum attractive rate of return of 18%, determine the following. For the following questions, employ an analytical solution: a. The mean and standard deviation of net present value. b. The probability that the net present value is positive. c. The probability that the net present value is greater than $5,000. Assume the initial investment and annual receipts are normally distributed. d. Using a Monte Carlo simulation with 10,000 iterations, estimate the probability that the present worth is positive and estimate the probability that the present worth is greater than $5,000.

- An investment of $100 produces rate of return as follows In year 1: a gain of 10 percent In year 2: a loss of percent In year 3: a loss of 8 percent In year 4: a gain of 3 percent. Calculate the value of the investment at the end of the fourth year and calculate the mean annual rate of return.arrow_forward3.

A manufacturer of electronic equipment buys spare parts for replacement and repairs in lots of one-thousand from the supplier. The manufacturer uses these spare parts to fix items under warrantee. Past historical records show that the probability of any one spare part being defective is unlikely and assumed to be one in one-thousand.

Assuming college requires five years, show that the annual return to each year of college education averages 10.9 percent. b. It is typically thought that this type of calculation of the returns to schooling is biased because it doesn’t take into account innate ability (i.e., ability in the workplace not due to college) or innate motivation. If this criticism is true, is the actual return to each year of a college education more than or less than 10.9 percent?arrow_forward
