1. Assume stock prices follow a random walk and a particular stock has had the following recent stock prices: Day 1: 129.5 Day 2: 126.9 Day 3: 127.1 what is the best estimate of day 4 prices? 2. What is a stock's realized abnormal return if the stock had a 3% return and the stock had a Beta=1.24, an Alpha=0 and the excess market return was 3.3%. assume the risk free rate is 0%. Please use 5 decimal places in your response. Please write negative returns using the "-" symbol, so a negative 1% return would be written as -.01     2. If the yield to maturity for a two year zero coupon bond is 5.8% and the yield to maturity for a 3 year zero coupon bond is  6.1%, what is the implied future short rate from year 2 to 3 (use 5 decimal places, write 3.333% as .03333)?

Return -7% 5% 16% 21% www a. Given the information in the table, the expected rate of return for stock A is 16.40 %. (Round to two decimal places.) The standard deviation of stock A is 1.74 %. (Round to two decimal places.) b. The expected rate of return for stock B is 9.8 %. (Round to two decimal places.) The standard deviation for stock B is 6.12 %. (Round to two decimal places.)

Conceptual Overview: Explore how stock volatility relates to the beta coefficient b risk measure. The tendency of a stock to move with the market is measured by its beta coefficient. returns 10%. And in a year when the market goes down -10%, the average stock goes down - 10% also. The slope of the line for the average stock is b = 1.0. A more volatile stock would change more extremely. Drag the line vertically so that it has a slope of b 2.0. For this more volatile stock, in a year when the market returned 20%, the volatile stock did better with a 30% return, and when the market lost -10%, the volatile stock lost big with a -30 % change. Now drag the line so that it has a slope ofb = 05. This stop less volatile than the average stock and reacts less extremely than the market, In a year the market returned 20%, the less volatile stock returned slightly less at about 15%. And in a year when the market lost-10%, the less volatile stock did a letter better with When first loaded, the graph…
