Explanation / Answer

Answeer 99

Option Pay off => 137 -132 => $5

Option Profit => 5 -11 => 6

So Profit => 100 * 6 => $ 600 Profit ie option C

Answer 93

(130 -125 ) /125 => 4% , (126 - 130) / 130 => -3.08%, (129- 126) / 126 => 2.38%

Geometric return => [ ( 1 +4%) ( 1+ (-3.08%) ) ( 1 + 2.38%) ]1/3 -1

Geometric return => 1.054% or 1.06%

Option C

Answer 96

Growth => 14% * 40% => 5.6%

Expected dividend => 7 * (1 - 40%) => 4.2

Price => 4.2/ (14% - 5.6%) => 50

PE Ratio => 50 / 7

PE Ratio => 7.14
