What is the standard deviation of the returns of a portfolio that produced returns of -14%, 30%, and -19% over the last three years? (answer in percent, but without the percent sign, e.g. "7.25" is 7.25%)

The returns of a stock follow the normal distribution, with average return of 13.2% and standard deviation of 23.7%. What is the probability that in any given year, the stock's return will be between -34.2% and +36.9%? Assume the following: the one standard deviation probability range is 0.68; the two standard deviation probability range is 0.95; and the three standard deviation probability range is 0.99. 0.685 O 0.955 O 0.750 0.815 O 0.950

Suppose that stock market returns are normally distributed with a mean of 7% and a standard deviation of 20%. There should be about a 16% chance of getting a return less than _______%. Write your answer as a whole number: eg, -15% = -15.

Suppose that the standard deviation of returns on each individual stock is 80% per annum and that the covariance between each pair of stocks is 0.25. What is the annual standard deviation of an equally weighted well - diversified portfolio?

Using the following information, calculate the expected return and the standard deviation of Metlock. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 15.2564 and the final answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25%.) State of the Metlock stock economy Probability return (%) Depression 0.10 -4.9 Recession 0.15 1.0 Normal 0.40 5.9 Boom 0.35 17.9 Expected return Standard deviation % di do %

a. A stock has an annual return of 10 percent and a standard deviation of 66 percent. What is the smallest expected loss over the next year with a probability of 2.5 percent? Note: A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the z-score value to 3 decimal places when calculating your answer. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Smallest expected loss b. Does this number make sense? Yes O No %

The returns on a portfolio over the last five years were: -5.2 percent, 21.6 percent, 4.5 percent, 11.7 percent, and 5.9 percent. What is the standard deviation of these returns?

Chee Chew's portfolio has a beta of 1.25 and earned a return of 13.6% during the year just ended. The risk-free rate is currently 3.9%. The return on the market portfolio during the year just ended was 10.7%. a. Calculate Jensen's measure (Jensen's alpha) for Chee's portfolio for the year just ended. b. Compare the performance of Chee's portfolio found in part a to that of Carri Uhl's portfolio, which has a Jensen's measure of -0.19. Which portfolio performed better? Explain. c. Use your findings in part a to discuss the performance of Chee's portfolio during the period just ended. a. The Jensen's measure (Jensen's alpha) for Chee's portfolio is (Round to two decimal places.) (…)

If the return on stock A in year 1 was 10 %, in year 2 was -6 %, in year 3 was -2 % and in year 4 was 10 %, what was the standard deviation of returns for stock A over this four year period? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place and record without a percent sign. If your final answer is negative, place a minus sign before the number with no space between the sign and the number).
