Questions 1:

A group of analysts estimate a security’s mean expected value to be $98.00 with a standard deviation of $0.55. Using a confidence interval of plus or minus two standard deviations and given the security is trading at $97.50, the security appears to be:

A、 undervalued.

B、 fairy valued.

C、 overvalued.

Questions 2:

A company has initiated the process of selling unproductive land, representing 5% of its total assets, and using the proceeds to buy back its common shares. Holding other factors constant, these actions by the company will most likelyresult in a:

A、 lower sustainable growth.

B、 higher return on equity.

C、 higher operating margin.

View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】B

【analysis】

B is correct. The confidence interval of the security is between $96.90 ($98 – 2 × $0.55) and $99.10 ($98 + 2 × $0.55). The security price of $97.50 is within the confidence interval so it is fairly valued.

A is incorrect. The confidence interval of the security is between $96.90 ($98 – 2 × $0.55) and $99.10 ($98 + 2 × $0.55). The security price of $97.50 is within the confidence interval so it is fairly valued.

C is incorrect. The confidence interval of the security is between $96.90 ($98 – 2 × $0.55) and $99.10 ($98 + 2 × $0.55). The security price of $97.50 is within the confidence interval so it is fairly valued.

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct. Share buyback reduces equity, holding other factors (e.g., earnings) constant, thus return on equity will be higher.

C is incorrect. Selling unproductive land will not impact the operating profit and, holding sales constant, there would be no effect on operating margin.

A is incorrect. With higher ROE, holding the retention ratio constant, the sustainable growth would be higher, not lower.

成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習。而人們經常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習，即使是一點點的進步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
