Answer:
<u>sell the stock which will drive it's expected return even lower.</u>
Explanation:
An investor wants to be compensated for the risk undertaken in the form of return. When investors believe that a stock is not providing sufficient return, such stocks would be sold by the investor.
When a stock is not performing well i.e it's current market price goes down, all the investors holding that stock will sell it , leading to it's market price going further down.
Since the market price goes further down, the expected return on such a stock would further decline.

Answer:
Bonds
Explanation:
Bonds fit all of Marlon's needs since:
- He can know the interest rate up front, e.g. the coupon rate of the bond, or the market rate if the bond is purchased at a premium or discount.
- Some bonds have a very remote maturity date, up to 30 years (e.g. US securities) and that is a long period of time.
- Even though Marlon can cash his money before the bond matures (he can sell them), it is something that takes a few days and must be done by a broker.
- Bonds are very secure investments, specially US securities which are considered the most secure investment in the world, but even corporate bonds are considered secure. In case the firm goes is liquidated, bondholders receive their money before preferred stockholders and common stockholders.
Answer:
4.9%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual average rate of return over the three years is shown below:
Given that
Positive return in 1st year is 12.5%
The Negative return in 2nd year is 3.3%
And, the positive return in 3rd year is 5.5%
So, the annual average rate of return is
= (12.5% - 3.3% + 5.5%) ÷ (3 years)
= 4.9%
