13. Variance and Standard Deviation (expected). Using the data from problem 13‚ calculate the variance and standard deviation of the three investments‚ stock‚ corporate bond‚ and government bond. If the estimates for both the probabilities of the economy and the returns in each state of the economy are correct‚ which investment would you choose considering both risk and return? Why? ANSWER Variance of Stock = 0.10 x (0.25 – 0.033)2 + 0.15 x (0.12 – 0.033)2 + 0.50 x (0.04 – 0.033)2 + 0

Variances Variances can be either: * Positive/favourable (better than expected) or * Adverse/unfavourable ( worse than expected) A favourable variance might mean that: * Costs were lower than expected in the budget‚ or * Revenue/profits were higher than expected By contrast‚ an adverse variance might arise because: * Costs were higher than expected * Revenue/profits were lower than expected What causes budget variance? There are four key reasons and it is important that
