37. An analyst developed the following probability distribution of the rate of return for a common stock: Rate of return Scenario Recession -0.05 0.10 0.25 What's the standard deviation of the rate of return? Show your calculations. n k=ZkP |o= i=1 A. 0.0549. B. 0.0649. Normal Boom . 0.0749. D. 0.0849 E. 0.0949. 건 Probability 0.20 0.60 0.20 i-1 (k₂ − Ê)² P₂.
Currently the risk-free rate equals 5% and the expected return on the market portfolio equals 11%. An investment analyst provides you with the following information: Stock A Beta 1.33 Expected Return 12% Stock B Beta 0.7 Expected Return 10% (a) Calculate the reward-to-risk ratios of stock A, stock B and in market equilibrium. Are stock A and stock B overvalued, undervalued or fairly valued? Briefly explain. [within 150 words] (b) You want a portfolio with the same risk as the market. Calculate the weights of stock A and B respectively. (please show me steps and round the final answer to 2 decimal places, thanks)
Stocks A and B have the following probability distributions of expected future returns: Probability A B 0.1 (7 %) (26 %) 0.1 3 0 0.5 14 22 0.2 20 26 0.1 36 50 Calculate the expected rate of return, , for Stock B ( = 14.20%.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % Calculate the standard deviation of expected returns, σA, for Stock A (σB = 18.68%.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % Now calculate the coefficient of variation for Stock B. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. Is it possible that most investors might regard Stock B as being less risky than Stock A? If Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a higher beta than Stock A, and hence be more risky in a portfolio sense. If Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a higher…

The variance? The standard deviation? b) If the expected T-bill rate is 3.80%, the expected inflation rate is 3.50% what are the approximate and exact expected real returns on the portfolio? what is the approximate real risk premium?
