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

, 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
Ans> false
Rationale:
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.
