20 You purchased a share of stock for $20. One year later you received $1 as a dividend and sold the share for $24. What was your holding-period return?

A 20%

B 50%

C 25%

D 40%

E None of the options

21 You have been given this probability distribution for the holding-period return for KMP stock. You invest $100 in the stock. The expected return on your investment is

A $10

B $12

C $15

D $13

E $8

Use the mean to estimate your future dollar return on your $100 investment. In the highlighted cells G16:G18, calculate the error from what you expect to earn on your $100 investment in the grey highlighted area

22 The mean of the errors is

A Zero

B Negative

C Positive

D Impossible to determine

23 The variance is the mean square error from the mean. The variance of the return on your $100 investment is

A 169

B 225.5

C 255.5

D 284.6

24 The standard deviation of the return on your $100 investment is

A 13

B 15.02

C 15.98

D 16.87

25 The units by which we measure the variance and the standard deviation in the above questions are:

A The same unit, and the unit is dollar

B The same unit, and the unit is percent

C Only the variance unit is dollar

D Only the standard deviation unit is dollar

E Only the standard deviation unit is percent

26 If a portfolio had a return of 18%, the risk-free asset return was 5%, and the standard deviation of the portfolio's excess returns was 34%, the risk premium would be

A 13%

B 18%

C 49%

D 12%

E 29%

27 You are considering purchasing 100 shares of Boeing. One year later, you expect a dividend of $8 and expect the price to be $320. If you require a 12% return on your investment, what is the highest price you are willing to pay?
