O d. the predicted change in spontaneous liabilities must be greater than the predicted change in total assets.

Following are four economic states, their likelihoods, and the potential returns: Probability 0.22 Economic State Fast growth Slow growth Recession Depression 0.52 0.19 0.07 Expected return Standard deviation Compute the expected return and standard deviation. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places. Return 76% 18 -18 -52 % %

Suppose your expectations regarding the stock market are as follows: State of the Economy Boom Normal growth Recession Probability 0.3 0.6 0.1 Mean Standard deviation HPR 24.90 % % 41% 24 E (r) E-1P(s)r (s) Var (r) = o² = s-1p(s)[r (s) - E(r)]² SD (r) = o = √Var (r) Required: Use above equations to compute the mean and standard deviation of the HPR on stocks. (Do not round intermediate calculation Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) -18 K

The Profitability Index  (PI) is a financial metric that depends only on the Present Value (PV) of expected future cash inflows. This statement is:  a False.  b Only partly true.  c True  d Only partly false.

Please provide a step-by-step solution with an explanation.

Which of the following statements is false?   A.   Basel II use the value at risk (VaR) with a one-year time horizon and a 99.9% confidence level for calculating capital for credit risk and operational risk.   B.   20 BP = 0.2%   C.   Basel I is increasing the amount of capital that banks are required to hold and the proportion of that capital that must be equity.   D.   Model-building approach is a model for the joint distribution of changes in market variables and using historical data to estimate the model parameters.

2) Calculate the expected rate of return and standard deviation for a security with the following possible outcomes: State of the Economy Probability of State Return if State Occurs Depression 0.2 -5% Recession 0.4 3% Slow growth 0.3 7% Moderate growth 0.1 10%

Following are four economic states, their likelihoods, and the potential returns: Economic State Probability 0.31 0.50 0.16 0.03 Fast growth Slow growth Recession Depression Compute the expected return and standard deviation. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Expected return Standard deviation Return 78% 15 -18 -49 % %

Consider the following information: State of Probability of Portfolio Return Economy State of Economy If State Occurs Recession <- Boom 21 .79 Expected return Calculate the expected return. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) 11 .21 %

If you have the assumption that a firm willl grow its dividends at a high constant rate for a few years and then later on its growth will significantly drop to 0%, then.... It can either be a constant, Shifting, negative, or no growth. Model
