SOLUTIONSTRAINING SESSION 2 - 16 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS. Choose the one alternative that
best completes the statement or answers the question.
1) Suppose an investment is equally likely to have a 35% return or a -20% return.
The standard deviation on the return for this investment is closest to:
A) 38.9% B) 19.4% C) 0% D) 27.5%
Topic: 10.2 Common Measures of Risk and Return
Answer: D
E[R] = R PR R = .50(35%) + .50(-20%) = 7.5%
Var(R) = R PR (R E R )2 = .50(.35 - .075)2 + .50(-.20 - .075)2 = .07563
Sdev = .07563(1/2) = .2750
2) Which of the following statements is false?
A) We measure the degree of estimation error statistically through the
standard error of the estimate.
B) When focusing on the returns of a single security, its common practice to
assume that all dividends are immediately invested at the risk-free rate.
C) We estimate the variance by computing the average squared deviation
from the average realized return.
D) We estimate the standard deviation or volatility as the square root of the
variance.
