A stock's returns have the following distribution:
| Demand for the Company's Products |
Probability of This Demand Occurring |
Rate of Return If This Demand Occurs |
| Weak | 0.1 | (28%) |
| Below average | 0.2 | (6) |
| Average | 0.4 | 18 |
| Above average | 0.1 | 34 |
| Strong | 0.2 | 56 |
| 1.0 |
Assume the risk-free rate is 2%. Calculate the stock's expected return, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and Sharpe ratio. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

I need to verify my answers are correct.
A large operator of timeshare complexes requires anyone interested in making a purchase to first visit the site of interest. Historical data indicates that 55% of all potential purchasers select a day visit, 25% choose a one-night visit, and 20% opt for a two-night visit. In addition, 10% of day visitors ultimately make a purchase, 25% of night visitors make a purchase, and 20% of those visiting for two nights make a purchase. Suppose a visitor is randomly selected
(a) What is the probability that the visitor makes a purchase?
(my answer was 0.1 * 0.55 + 0.25 * 0.25 + 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.1575)
(b) What is the probability that the visitor visited for two nights given that they made a purchase.
(my answer was found using bayes theorem: (0.25 * 0.2)/0.1575 = 0.31746
(c) What is the probability that the visitor visited for one night given that they did not make a purchase?
(my answer was: (1 - 0.25)(0.25)/(1 - 0.1575) = 0.22255
Thanks for your help

A city has built a bridge over a river and it decides to charge a toll to everyone who crosses. For one year, the city charges a variety of different tolls and records information on how many drivers cross the bridge. The city thus gathers information about elasticity of demand. If the city wishes to raise as much revenue as possible from the tolls, where will the city decide to charge a toll: in the inelastic portion of the demand curve, the elastic portion of the demand curve, or the unit elastic portion? Explain using elasticity and total revenue diagram

Which of the following regarding the recognition of contingencies is not correct?
IFRS guidance is built around a balance sheet perspective.
Both IFRS and U.S. GAAP require recognition of a contingent liability when it is both probable and can be reasonably estimated.
U.S. GAAP relies on an income statement perspective.
Only U.S. GAAP requires recognition of a contingent liability, called a provision under IFRS—and the associated contingent loss—when it is both probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Suppose the average size of a new house built in a certain county in 2014 was 2,275 square feet. A random sample of 25 new homes built in this county was selected in 2018. The average square footage was 2,189, with a sample standard deviation of 227 square feet. Complete parts a and b.
a. Using α=0.02, does this sample provide enough evidence to conclude that the average house size of a new home in the county has changed since 2014?
Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.

A company has just built a new factory to manufacture their widgets with a method they believe should be more efficient than their old method on a daily basis. To compare they recorded the number of widgets produced by the old factory for the last 9 days before it was shutdown and the first 8 days of the new factory's production. The company has reason to believe that daily production of widgets does not follow the normal distribution and have requested the use of the Wilcoxon rank sum test.
| Old Factory: | New Factory: |
| 218 | 321 |
| 235 | 248 |
| 225 | 306 |
| 235 | 291 |
| 268 | 273 |
| 236 | 341 |
| 269 | 337 |
| 209 | 303 |
| 231 |
What would be the correct hypothesis test assuming that μ1 is the mean number produced by the old factory and μ2 is the mean number produced by the new factory?
H0: μ1 = μ2 vs.
Ha: μ1 >
μ2
H0: μ1 > μ2 vs.
Ha: μ1 =
μ2
H0: μ1 = μ2 vs.
Ha: μ1 <
μ2
H0: μ1 = μ2 vs.
Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2
What rank should the value 236 from the old factory data have?
Calculate μW
Calculate the test statistic W
What is the approximate p value? (Hint: treat W as normally distributed)
