Over the past 3 years an investment returned 0.16, -0.1, and 0.06. What is the variance of returns? If a stock consistently goes down (up) by 1.54% when the market portfolio goes down (up) by 1.0%, then its beta equals: ABC common stock is expected to have extraordinary growth in earnings and dividends of 18% per year for 2 years, after which the growth rate will settle into a constant 8%. If the discount rate is 16% and the most recent dividend was $2, what should be the approximate current share price (in $ dollars)? $_ An investor purchased a fixed-coupon bond at a time when the bond's yield to maturity was 6.9%. The investor sold the bond prior to maturity and realized a total return of 6.5%. Which of these most likely occurred while the investor owned the bond? Market interest rates declined. OO O Market interest rates increased. The bond's current yield increased above the bond's coupon rate. The inflation rate increased. Over the past 3 years an investment returned 0.16, -0.1, and 0.06.
