Answer: a. 11.5%

Explanation:

Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.

Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)

Er = Expected return

Rf = Risk Free Rate

b = Beta

Rm = Market Return.

The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,

= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)

= 12.4%

With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

d- EVP has a short-term swing profit is $3000

Explanation:

Lets first understand what short-term swing profit is. Short-term swing profit is profit dependent upon a rule normally set by the securities & exchange commission which states that  any profits made by company insiders through the purchase and sale of share/stocks within six months must be returned to the company. Company insiders are people/employees working within the entity mostly having more than 10% of company's shares or employees such as executives, directors and managers.

Now It's not clear from the question what the purchase price of the shares was when EVP sold them on January 12 2016, assuming these shares were purchased at $20, then the short-term swing profit would be $2000 as at January. Then EVP purchases 100 shares at $20 and sells them at $30 per share as at june. The additional short-term swing profit would be $1000 (i.e $30-$20=$10 per share).

Therefore the total short-term swing profit is $3000

A Super Happy Fun Ball is dropped from a height of 10 feet and rebounds 13/14 of the distance from which it fell. How many times
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

32

Explanation:

First bounce = 13 / 14 × 10 = 130 /14

using geometric progression where the common ratio = 13/14, the first bound = 130/14

ar^n-1 < 1

substitute the values into the equation

130 /14 × 13/14^(n-1) < 1

(13/14)^n-1 < 1÷ (130/14)

(13/14)^n-1 < 14 / 130

take log of both side

log (13 /14)^n-1 < log ( 14/130)

n-1 log (13 /14) < log  ( 14/130)

since log (13/14) negative

n-1 > (log( 14/130)) ÷ ( log (13/14)

n - 1 > 30.07

n > 30.07 + 1 > 31.07

The 32 bounce will the first less than 1 foot
