1. Calculating Returns ( LO1‚ CFA1) Suppose you bought 100 shares of stock at an initial price of $ 37 per share. The stock paid a dividend of $ 0.28 per share during the following year‚ and the share price at the end of the year was $ 41. Compute your total dollar return on this investment. Does your answer change if you keep the stock instead of selling it? Why or why not? 2. Calculating Yields ( LO1‚ CFA1) In the previous problem‚ what is the capital gains yield? The dividend yield?

If the contagion rate is calculated as the number of new cases per day per total population‚ what would the average contagion rate be for Kold? Unlike some of the other interactive labs‚ this model has some randomness built in to reflect the real spread of a disease‚ which is a matter of probabilities. Despite this variability‚ you can get a sense for what effect each factor has on disease spread. Before

CHAPTER 22 estimating risk and return on assets 1. WHAT IS RISK? Risk is the variability of an asset’s future returns. When only one return is possible‚ there is no risk. When more than one return is possible‚ the asset is risky. The greater the variability‚ the greater the risk. 2. RISK – RETURN RELATIONSHIP Investment risk is related to the probability of actually earning less than the expected return – the greater the chance of low or negative returns‚ the riskier the investment.

Which barriers‚ if any‚ do you feel give rise to monopoly that is socially justifiable?
