1.
Stock and Market Risk and Return. Provide an introduction paragraph describing the
price range of your stock during the last full 10 years available. You may also want to
include when your company went public and when it started paying dividends as well
as any price splits during the period in question.
Calculate the company’s stock average return, standard deviation, and coefficient of
variation for the last full 10 years available. Use the closing price for the last day of
trading for each year (December 31st) and annualized dividend. You may use
finance.yahoo.com or marketwatch.com. If your stock has split, use the adjusted price.
To obtain the annual divided, just simply add the quarterly dividends. Similarly, provide
the same information for the S&P 500 market index.
