The common stock of Mountain Farms has yiclded 14.2 percent, 11.7 percent, 2) 3.4 percent, -2.8 percent, and 15.8 percent over the past five years, respectively. What is the arithmetic average return (simple average)?

A stock had returns of 15 percent, 20 percent, 11 percent, 5 percent, 11 percent, and -7 percent over the last six years. What is the arithmetic return for the stock? Arithmetic return What is the geometric return for the stock? Geometric return

Over the past five years, a stock returned -2.73 percent, 14.66 percent, 15.19 percent, 3.43 percent, and 5.49 percent, respectively. What is the variance (as a decimal fraction) of these returns? Carry intermediate calculations to six decimals. Answer to four decimals. Your answer should look something like 0.0123, or 0.0024.

During the last four years, you owned two stocks that have had the following annual rates of return. Year KEX KW 2014 0.13 -0.08 2015 0.05 0.21 2016 0.07 0.06 2017 0.09 0.15 Compute the arithmetic mean annual return for EACH stock Compute the standard deviation of the annual rate of return for EACH stock   Taking the results of (i) and (ii) into consideration, which stock is preferable? Why?   Compute the geometric mean annual return for EACH stock

None

Using the following annual returns, calculate the estimates of the arithmetic mean returns, the variances, and the standard deviations for assets X and Y. Also calculate the estimates of the covariance and correlation between X and Y. These five years are a sample of the entire population of returns for X and Y. Year 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Returns X 11% 6% -8% 28% 13% Y 36% -7% 2% -12% 43% A stock has had returns over the past six years of 29%, 14%, 23%, -18%, 9%, and -14%. What was its arithmetic mean and geometric mean returns over that period? What was the standard deviation of its returns over this six-year period?
