Assume the risk-free rate is 3% and the market return is 10%. Stock X Stock Y Stock Z Beta 0.65 0.90 Current price $13.50 $26.50 Correlation (X/Y) = 0.35 (X/Z) = 0 (Y/Z) = 0.55 a) Most equity research concludes that Stock X is much more volatile compared to the “market". On average, Stock X's volatility is about 1.5 times that of the stock market. Based on CAPM, estimate the required return of Stock X. b) It is expected that Stock Y will pay a per share dividend of $0.43 one year from now, and the dividend will increase by an average of 6% per year in the foreseeable future. According to CAPM, is Stock Y overvalued or undervalued? c) Assume that Stock Z is fairly-priced today. Stock Z has just paid a dividend of $2. It is expected that its dividend will increase by 50% in the first year, 0% in the second year, 10% in the third year, and starting from the fourth year, the company will maintain the dividend growth rate to be 5% forever. How much would Stock Z be worth today if its…
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? (Assume that the risk-free rate is a constant.) a. The effect of a change in the market risk premium depends on the slope of the yield curve. b. If the market risk premium increases by 1%, then the required return on all stocks will rise by 1%. c. If the market risk premium increases by 1%, then the required return will increase by 1% for a stock that has a beta of 1.0. d. The effect of a change in the market risk premium depends on the level of the risk-free rate. e. If the market risk premium increases by 1%, then the required return will increase for stocks that have a beta greater than 1.0, but it will decrease for stocks that have a beta less than 1.0.
What is the beta of IsoTech, given that the covariance between IsoTech and the market is 0.1 and the standard deviation of market returns is 51%?
Stock A has a beta of 1, the risk-free rate is 4% and the return on the market is 9%. If the market risk premium changes by 7%, by how much will the required return on Stock A change? (i.e. required return after change - required return before the change) answer format: show your answer in percent (without the % sign) and to 1 decimal place. For example, 12.56 should be shown as 12.6
Consider the following information: State of Economy Probability of State of Economy Rate of Return if State Occurs Stock A Stock B Recession .17 .08 −.12 Normal .58 .11 .17 Boom .25 .16 .34 a. Calculate the expected return for Stocks A and B. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Calculate the standard deviation for Stocks A and B. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Consider the following information about Stocks I and II: Rate of Return if State Occurs Probability of State of State of Economy Recession Economy Stock I Stock Il .25 .06 -.30 Normal .45 .18 .06 Irrational exuberance .30 .12 .45 The market risk premium is 8 percent, and the risk-free rate is 6 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your standard deviation answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Round your beta answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) The standard deviation on Stock I's return is deviation on Stock II's return is stock's systematic risk/beta, Stock percent, and the Stock I beta is percent, and the Stock II beta is . The standar Therefore, based on the is "riskier".

Assume that the risk-free rate of return is 4% and the market risk premium (i.e., Rm - Rf) is 8%. If use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to estimate the expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.28, then this stock's expected return should be -- A) 10.53% B) 14.24% 23.15% 6.59%
