TRUE / FALSE
1. The Difference Between Average And Above-Average Returns Is That Average
Returns Are Returns That An Investor Expects To Earn From An Investment As
Compared To Other Investments With Similar Stock Prices, While Above-Average
Returns Are In Excess Of Expectations For Similarly Priced Stocks.
A. True
B. False
ANS: False
Rationale:
Average Returns Are Returns That An Investor Expects To Earn Relative To Investments
With Similar Risk, Not Similar Stock Prices. Above-Average Returns Are Returns That
Exceed What Investors Expect Given The Level Of Risk, Not Simply Price Comparisons.
Because The Statement Incorrectly Defines How Returns Are Evaluated (Price Instead
Of Risk), It Is

2. Particularly When Assessing Investments In New Venture Firms, The Most Effective,
And Often The Only, Way To Measure The Performance Of The Firms And Determine
Their Viability As An Investment Option Is To Examine Financial Metrics Such As
Returns On Assets, And Sales.
A. True
B. False

New Venture Firms Often Lack Stable Financial Histories, Making Traditional Financial
Metrics Such As Return On Assets Or Sales Unreliable Or Unavailable. Instead,
Investors Frequently Assess Non-Financial Indicators, Such As The Quality Of The
Management Team, Innovation Potential, Market Opportunity, And Scalability.
Therefore, Financial Metrics Are Not The Most Effective Or Only Way To Evaluate New
Ventures.

Difference Between The Two Models Is The Resource-Based Model Starts By Looking
At The Internal Strengths And Weaknesses Of A Firm, While The I/O Model Begins

Than Does The I/O Model.
, A. True
B. False
ANS: False
Rationale:
While It Is Correct That The Resource-Based Model Focuses First On Internal Strengths
And Weaknesses And The I/O Model Begins With The External Environment, The
Statement Is Incorrect In Saying That The Resource-Based Model Identifies An
Attractive Industry Earlier. In Fact, The I/O Model Identifies Attractive Industries
Earlier, While The Resource-Based Model Focuses On Leveraging Internal Resources
