Homework Answers
The Correct Answer is "D"
The Annualized holding period return (HPR) would always be Greater than holding period return of 7 months because holding period return means the return for holding the securities for a particular period. When the holding period is less than 1 year, annualised yield will always be greater.
Higher standard deviation represents the Higher Risk of security while Lower standard deviation represents lower risk. so the first option doesn't stand True.
While, Systematic group represents the risk that can't be diversified like tax reforms, Laws and Poiltical stability etc. while Diversified risk can be allocated to different sources to mitigate the risks. Hence, these are two different things.
The beta that represents the risk of the Securities are not given in the question, so the expected return cannot be justifiably find.
