During the past five years, you owned two stocks that had the following annual rates of return:

Year Stock T Stock B

1 0.19 0.08

2 0.11 0.02

3 -0.12 -0.10

4 -0.04 0.03

5 0.14 0.02

a) Compute the arithmetic mean annual rate of return for each stock. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Stock T and B %

Which stock is most desirable by this measure?

b) Compute the standard deviation of the annual rate of return for each stock.Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to three decimal places. Answer with the population standard deviation. By this measure, which is the preferable stock?

c) Compute the coefficient of variation for each stock. (Use the Chapter 1 Appendix if necessary.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to four decimal places. Use the population standard deviation in your computation. Stock T and B?By this relative measure of risk, which stock is preferable?

D)Compute the geometric mean rate of return for each stock. Round your answers to three decimal places.
