Consider stock A and stock B whose future returns one year from now are normally distributed. Return on A has a mean of 8% and a standard deviation of 20%. Return on B has a mean of 4% and a standard deviation of 10%. Then, 5%-VaR (5%-lowest return) of stock A is lower than that of stock B.
Group of answer choices
True / False
We see that 5% VaR for A=8%-1.645*20%=-24.900%
We see that 5% VaR for B=4%-1.645*10%=-12.450%
