a. Use the data given to calculate annual returns for Goodman, Landry, and the 
Market Index, and then calculate average annual returns for the two stocks and the 
index. (Hint: Remember, returns are calculated by subtracting the beginning price 
from the ending price to get the capital gain or loss, adding the dividend to the 
capital gain or loss, and then dividing the result by the beginning price. Assume that 
dividends are already included in the index. Also, you cannot calculate the rate of 
return for 2014 because you do not have 2013 data.)
b. Calculate the standard deviations of the returns for Goodman, Landry, and the 
Market Index. (Hint: Use the sample standard deviation formula given in the 
chapter, which corresponds to the STDEV function in Excel.)
c. Construct a scatter diagram graph that shows Goodman’s returns on the vertical axis and the Market Index’s returns on the horizontal axis. Construct a similar 
graph showing Landry’s stock returns on the vertical axis.
d. Estimate Goodman’s and Landry’s betas as the slopes of regression lines with 
stock return on the vertical axis (y-axis) and market return on the horizontal axis 
(x-axis). (Hint: Use Excel’s SLOPE function.) Are these betas consistent with your 
graph?
e. The risk-free rate on long-term Treasury bonds is 6.04%. Assume that the market 
risk premium is 5%. What is the required return on the market? Now use the SML 
equation to calculate the two companies’ required returns.
f. If you formed a portfolio that consisted of 50% Goodman stock and 50% Landry 
stock, what would be its beta and its required return?
g. Suppose an investor wants to include some Goodman Industries stock in his 
portfolio. Stocks A, B, and C are currently in the portfolio, and their betas are 
0.769, 0.985, and 1.423, respectively. Calculate the new portfolio’s required 
return if it consists of 25% Goodman, 15% Stock A, 40% Stock B, and 20% 
Stock C
