Chapter 15, Problem 56SE

A portion of a data set containing information for 45 mutual funds that are part of the Morningstar Funds 500 follows. The complete data set is available in the file named MutualFunds. The data set includes the following five variables:

Fund Type: The type of fund, labeled DE (Domestic Equity), IE (International Equity), and FI (Fixed Income).

Net Asset Value ($): The closing price per share on December 31, 2007.

5-Year Average Return (%): The average annual return for the fund over the past five years. Expense Ratio (%): The percentage of assets deducted each fiscal year for fund expenses. Morningstar Rank: The risk adjusted star rating for each fund; Morningstar ranks go from a low of 1-Star to a high of 5-Stars.

  1. a. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the 5-year average return given the type of fund. At the .05 level of significance, test for a significant relationship.
  2. b. Did the estimated regression equation developed in part (a) provide a good fit to the data? Explain.
  3. c. Develop the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the 5-year average return given the type of fund, the net asset value, and the expense ratio. At the .05 level of significance, test for a significant relationship. Do you think any variables should be deleted from the estimated regression equation? Explain.
  4. d. Morningstar Rank is a categorical variable. Because the data set contains only funds with four ranks (2-Star through 5-Star), use the following dummy variables: 3Star-Rank = 1 for a 3-Star fund, 0 otherwise; 4StarRank = 1 for a 4-Star fund, 0 otherwise; and 5StarRank = 1 for a 5-Star fund, 0 otherwise. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the 5-year average return given the type of fund, the expense ratio, and the Morningstar Rank. Using a = .05, remove any independent variables that are not significant.
  5. e. Use the estimated regression equation developed in part (d) to predict the 5-year average return for a domestic equity fund with an expense ratio of 1.05% and a 3-Star Morningstar Rank.

Answer to Problem 56SE

The estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the 5-year average return given the type of fund is y^=4.91+10.47FundDE+21.68FundIE.

There is a significant relationship between dependent variable (y) and independent variables FundDE (x1) and FundIE (x2).

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The data related to the type of fund, net asset value, 5 year average return, expense ratio and management risk of 45 mutual funds.

Multiple linear regression model:

A multiple linear regression model is given as E(y)=β0+β1x1+...+βpxp where E(y) is the expected value of response or dependent variable, and x1,x2,...,xp are the k quantitative independent variables with categorical variables having 0 or 1. The quantities β1,β2,...,βp are the estimated slopes corresponding to x1,x2,...,xp respectively and β0 are the estimated intercept of the line, from the sample data.

The dummy variable FundDE is defined as is,

FundDE={1for a domestic equality fund0    otherwise

The dummy variable FundIE is defined as is,

FundIE={1for an international fund0    otherwise

Thus, the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the 5-year average return given the type of fund is y^=4.91+10.47FundDE+21.68FundIE.

State the test hypotheses.

Null hypothesis:

 H0:β1=β2=0

That is, there is not a significant relationship between dependent variable (y) and independent variables FundDE (x1) and FundIE (x2).

Alternative hypothesis:

 Ha:Atleast one of the coefficeint is not equal to zero

That is, there is a significant relationship between dependent variable (y) and independent variables FundDE (x1) and FundIE (x2).

According the output, it is found that the F statistic with numerator df of 1 and denominator df of 42, corresponding to regression is 33.4584 and the p value for F statistic corresponding to regression is 0.000.

Level of significance:

The given level of significance is α=0.05.

Rejection rule:

If the p-valueα, then reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Here, the p-value is less than the level of significance.

That is, p-value(=0.000)<α(=0.05)

Thus, the decision is “reject the null hypothesis”.

Therefore, the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant relationship between dependent variable (y) and independent variables FundDE (x1) and FundIE (x2).

Expert Solution

To determine

Whether the estimated regression equation in part (a) provides a good fit.

Explanation of Solution

R2(R-squared):

The coefficient of determination (R2) is defined as the proportion of variation in the observed values of the response variable that is explained by the regression. The squared correlation gives fraction of variability of response variable (y) accounted for by the linear regression model.

In the given output, R squared=61.44%

Thus, the percentage of variation in the observed values of dependent variable that is explained by the regression is 61.44%, which indicates that 61.44% of the variability in dependent variable is explained by the variability in independent variables using the linear regression model.

Thus, the model provides a good fit.

Predict the 5-year average return for a domestic equality fund with an expense ratio of 1.05% and a 3-star Morningstar Rank.

Answer to Problem 56SE

The predicted the 5-year average return for a domestic equality fund with an expense ratio of 1.05% and a 3-star Morningstar Rank is 15.28%.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

According to part (d) the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the 5-year average return given the type of fund, the expense ratio and the Morningstar Rank is y^=4.6074+8.1713FundDE+19.5194FundIE+5.5197Expense Ratio+5.92373StarRank+8.23674StarRank+6.62415StarRank.

The 5-year average return for a domestic equality fund with an expense ratio of 1.05% and a 3-star Morningstar Rank implies that,

FundDE=1, FundIE=0, Expense Ratio=1.05, 3StarRank=1, 4StarRank=0 and 5StarRank=0.

Thus, the predicted the 5-year average return for a domestic equality fund with an expense ratio of 1.05% and a 3-star Morningstar Rank is,

y^=4.6074+8.1713(1)+19.5194(0)+5.5197(1.5)+5.9237(1)+8.2367(0)+6.6241(0)=4.6074+8.1713+0+5.7957+5.9237+0+015.28

Thus, the predicted the 5-year average return for a domestic equality fund with an expense ratio of 1.05% and a 3-star Morningstar Rank is 15.28%.
