- 4. Measuring standalone risk using realized data Returns earned over a given time period are called realized returns. Historical data on realized returns is often used to estimate future results. Analysts across companies use realized stock returns to estimate the risk of a stock. Five years of realized returns for Celestial Crane Cosmetics Inc. (Crane Cosmetics) are given in the following table: Stock return Also note that: 2016 2017 2018 2019 23.75% 16.15% 28.50% 39.90% 2020 12.35% 1. While Crane Cosmetics was started 40 years ago, its common stock has been publicly traded for the past 25 years. 2. The returns on Crane Cosmetics's equity are calculated as arithmetic returns. Given this return data, the average realized return on Celestial Crane Cosmetics Inc.'s stock is 24.13% The preceding data series represents a sample of Crane Cosmetics's historical returns. Based on this conclusion, the standard deviation of Crane Cosmetics's historical returns is 14.6397% ▼ If investors expect…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…Some investors use the Sharpe ratio as a way of comparing the benefits of owning shares of stock in a company to the risks. The Sharpe ratio of a stock is defined as the ratio of the difference between the mean return on the stock and the mean return on government bonds (called the risk-free rate rf ) to the SD of the returns on the stock. The mean return on government bonds is rf = 0.03% per day. The table below describes the daily return of three stocks. Date APPLE. TESLA GM 01/10/20 0.85% 4.46% 2.67% 02/10/20 -3.23% - 7.38% 0.26% 05/10/20 3.08% 2.55% 1.64% 06/10/20 -2.87% -2.75% -1.81% 07/10/20 1.70% 2.73% 4.01% 08/10/20 -0.10% 0.15% 1.87% 09/10/20 1.74% 1.90% -0.16% 12/10/20 6.35% 1.91% 0.16% 13/10/20 -2.65% 0.98% -1.06% 14/10/20 0.07% 3.28% -0.63% 15/10/20 -0.40% -2.69% 2.90% 16/10/20 -1.40% -2.05%…

Measuring stand-alone risk using realized (historical) data Returns earned over a given time period are called realized returns. Historical data on realized returns is often used to estimate future results. Analysts across companies use realized stock returns to estimate the risk of a stock. Consider the case of Falcon Freight Inc. (FF): Five years of realized returns for FF are given in the following table. Remember: 1. While FF was started 40 years ago, its common stock has been publicly traded for the past 25 years. 2. The returns on its equity are calculated as arithmetic returns. 3. The historical returns for FF for 2014 to 2018 are: 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Stock return 8.75% 5.95% 10.50% 14.70% 4.55% A. Given the preceding data, the average realized return on FF’s stock is .

- If you look at stock prices over any year, you will find a high and low stock price for the year. Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company. Year 1 $ 62.18 40.30 2.35 a. High target price b. Low target price Year 2 $67.29 43.18 2.58 Year 3- $74.18 39.27 2.73 Year 4 $78.27 46.21 High price Low price EPS Earnings are expected to grow at 9 percent over the next year. 6. What is the high target stock price in one year? 32.16. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g.. b. What is the low target stock price in one year? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. 2.8903. Capital Asset Pricing Model A. Suppose you invest $400,000 in Treasury Bills that have a yield to maturity of 4% and $600,000 in the market portfolio with an expected return of 14%. What is the expected return on your portfolio? Please show and explain. B. Given the information in part (A), what is the required expected return for an investment in a stock that has a beta of 0.7? Please show and explain.Use the following forecasted financials: (Certain cells were left intentionally blank by asker) You may need to use the CAPM model. Assume beta equals 1.09, the risk-free rate is 1.62%, and the market risk premium is 4.72%. d) Calculate the terminal value and the present value of the terminal value. Assume a long-term growth rate of 3%. e) Calculate Sherwin Williams value per share. The company has 263.3 million shares outstanding.
