You just purchased a share of stock in ABC Corporation, at a cost of $1,400. Your broker has indicated that there’s a 25% probability that the stock will end the year at a price of $1,000, a 60% probability that it will end at $2,000 is .60, and a 15% probability that it will end at $5,000. Calculate the mean, variance, and standard deviation for theinvestment’s end-of-year anticipated dollar value. In your view, is this a wise investment? Why or why not?

You want to check if GRBH stock is fairly priced in the markets by using the fundamental analysis. For this purpose, you have gathered the following information: GRBH pays dividends once a year and the next dividend payment is expected to be made in one year. You project the EPS of the first and second year to be $5 and $7 respectively. The company dividend payout ratio is stable at 0.2. At the end of the second year, you assume that the company would become the average company in the industry. The industry average PE ratio is 8. You believe that the appropriate required rate of return on GRBH stock is 10% (CCR per annum). And the current market price of GRBH stock is $45. ind the present value of GRBH stock based on the information above. Is the stock over- or under-priced?

Suppose that the annual return for particular stock follows the same distribution every year, and that the return for any given year is independent of the returns for any prior years. Based on an analysis of the stock's annual returns over an 12 year period, it is determined that the 95% confidence interval for the stock's expected annual return is given by (-0.1724, 0.2861). Find the volatility of the stock. Use the approximation formula from Berk and DeMarzo. 38.52% 40.90% 42.09% 37.32% 39.71%
