The standard deviation for returns of the Acme Corporation is 0.04. If the expected returns are 12%, what?

A value company is just one that is very underpriced according to whatever valuation model you want to use.  Without going into valuation models, you can typically identify value companies by their P/E ratios.  The long term average of all P/E is 16-18 anything significantly less would almost certainly be considered a value stock.  Basically this measure tells you that US investors typically value companies higher that the current price if the P/E is much below the average.  If a reversion to the mean occurs, then you will profit.  In addition, you must also look at the history of earnings.  This measure should only be used for companies with positive earnings showing growth over at least a ten year period (five would be better for shorter term investments).

I would assume that one of your .01s in column A is something like 0.012.\n\nChange your number  format to General and see what happens.

Add additional details to your question and I may be able to answer it.  I assume you are looking for the expected value, but some of you data is missing.\nE(X) = .7(175000) + .3(-amount of the loss)

none-nada......AMD's stock does not yield a dividend.....if you mean to say "the return on investment".......about $383.00....in Dec. '96, AMD was around $12.75 a share.....do the math\nhttp://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=amd&sid=0&o_symb=amd&freq=2&time=13

About 11.8%.\n\nWACC = Wd [Kd x (1-t)] + We (Ke)\n\nWhere:\nWd = Weight of Market Value of Debt (as a % of market value of capital)\nKd = Pre-tax cost of debt\nt = effective tax rate\nWe = Weight of Market Value of Equity\nKe = Cost of Equity (post tax)\n\nMarket cap of Dell: US$61.56b\nMarket cap of Dell debt: assuming at par (US$0.50b)\n\n\nCAPM to determine Ke: (4.61% + (11%-4.6%)*1.13) = 11.8%\nBeta = 1.13\nRm = 11%\nRf = 4.6% based on 30 year treasury yield\n\nKd (n/a in preliminary 2Q statements due to no balance sheet and n/a in 1Q due to not enough breakdown for interest expense).\nDell last disclosed it interest expense line item in 2004, which had an effective rate of 2.8%.  This is too low, so it has to be adjusted upwards.  Using a top-down approach, you can assume about LIBOR + 2% or about 7.3% for a medium-grade credit-worthy company like DELL.  \n\nTax rate is 23.8% per Oct-06 results (tax of $211m/PBT of $888m).\n\nWACC = 0.8% x (7.3%) (1-23.8%) + 99.2% (11.8%) = 11.8%\n\nSensitivity is really going to depend upon your Rm (market risk) mostly.

While this question does not provide sufficient information. I will make try.\n\nWith a monthly, annual, or even daily basis, an SD of .04 is very low and a return of 12% is very high . . . these two stats rarely occur together making me think you need more info. "Lies, damn lies, and statisitics" Beware!

I'd suggest speaking to a stockbroker about costs etc, and the returns would depend on the performance of the company.  I think they're about £4 a share just now, and they performed very well last year.  I've thought about it too because Tesco seem to be taking over the world just now...!

To calculate any rate of returns, just take the profit and divide it over the original amount. \nFor e.g. If you buy an investment at $1.00 and it went up to $1.05. The profit is $0.05. Take $0.05 and divide it over $1.00. You would get 0.05. That's a 5% return. \nHope this answers your question!
