a. From the price data in the table, compute the holding-period returns for Jazman for periods 2 through 4. The holding-period return in period 2 for Jazman is 22.22%. (Round to two decimal places.) Part 2 The holding-period return in period 3 for Jazman is −9.09%. (Round to two decimal places.) Part 3 The holding-period return in period 4 for Jazman is 30%. (Round to two decimal places.) Part 4 From the price data in the table, compute the holding-period returns for Solomon for periods 2 through 4. The holding-period return in period 2 for Solomon is 3.7%. (Round to two decimal places.) Part 5 The holding-period return in period 3 for Solomon is 14.29%. (Round to two decimal places.) Part 6 The holding-period return in period 4 for Solomon is −9.38%. (Round to two decimal places.) Part 7 b. Judge whether the statement is true or false: "The holding-period rate of return is the return an investor would receive from holding a security for a designated period of time." True

A higher coefficient of variation indicates more risk per unit of return. a. TRUE b. FALSE

a. TRUE

Because of differences in the expected returns on different investments, the standard deviation is not always an adequate measure of risk. However, the coefficient of variation adjusts for differences in expected returns and thus allows investors to make better comparisons of investments' stand-alone risk. a. TRUE b. FALSE

a. TRUE

In general, securities with higher historical standard deviations have provided higher returns. a. TRUE b. FALSE

a. TRUE

The coefficient of variation, calculated as the standard deviation of expected returns divided by the expected return, is a standardized measure of the risk per unit of expected return. a. TRUE b. FALSE

a. TRUE

The expected rate of return from an investment is equal to the expected cash flows divided by the initial investment. a. TRUE b. False

a. TRUE

Total risk equals systematic risk plus unsystematic risk. a. TRUE b. FALSE

a. TRUE

a. nature

The square root of the variance is also known as _____________________. a. standard deviation b. VAR c. acceptable variance d. arithmetic average return

a. standard deviation

A positive correlation ___________________________. a. is a statistical concept that relates movements in one set of returns to movements in another set over time. b. occurs when two time series tend to move in conjunction with each other. c. occurs when two time series tend to move in opposite directions. d. occurs when we invest in several different assets rather than just a single one.

b. occurs when two time series tend to move in conjunction with each other.

A rational investor will always prefer an investment with a lower standard deviation of returns, because such investments are less risky. a. TRUE b. FALSE

b. FALSE

The monthly (dollar) return equals the stock price at the end of the month minus the stock price at the beginning of the month plus ___________________________. a. percentage return b. dividends c. price changes d. a dividend of 4 cents

b. dividends
