QUESTION: 797

What simple annual interest rate would cause a $120 deposit to grow to $125 in 6 months?

25%
7.89%
4.17%
3.14%
8.33%

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

To solve this question, we have to rearrange the simple interest formula, I=PRT so that the R is by itself. Note that the I (interest) is equal to 5 (125 - 120). Note also that the time component T of the formula is 6/12. On the BAII Plus, press 5 divide 120 divide 6 x 12 = to see the answer. On the HP12C, press 5 ENTER 120 divide 6 divide 12 x to see the answer.

Stock A is highly volatile while stock B has low volatility. The difference between the arithmetic and geometric rates of return will be:

same for both stocks, since the difference is not dependent on volatility.
larger for stock A or stock B, depending on their riskiness.
larger for stock A.
larger for stock B.

Answer(s): C

There are 10 rolls of film in a box and 3 are defective. Two rolls are to be selected, one after the other. What is the probability of selecting a defective roll followed by another defective roll?

1/120, or about 0.0083
1/15, or about 0.07
None of these answers
1/4, or 0.25
1/2, or 0.50

Answer(s): B
