Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 49SE
Stock Price Volatility. The term “beta” refers to a measure of a stock’s price volatility relative to the stock market as a whole. A beta of 1 means the stock’s price moves exactly with the market. A beta of 1.6 means the stock’s price would increase by 1.6% for an increase of 1% in the stock market. A larger beta means the stock price is more volatile. The beta values for the stocks of the companies that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average are shown in Table 2.17 (Yahoo Finance).
- a. Construct a frequency distribution and percent frequency distribution.
- b. Construct a histogram.
- c. Comment on the shape of the distribution.
- d. Which stock has the highest beta? Which has the lowest beta?

- Caterpillar, Inc., manufactures and sells heavy construction equipment worldwide. The performance of Caterpillar’s stock is likely to be strongly influenced by the economy. For example, during the Great Recession, the value of Caterpillar’s stock plunged dramatically. Monthly data for Caterpillar’s risk-adjusted return (R − Rf) and the risk-adjusted market return (RM − Rf) are collected for a five-year period (n = 60). A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table. (You may find it useful to reference the t table.)

- A financial website reported the beta value for a certain company was 0.86. Betas for individual stocks are determined by simple linear regression. The dependent variable is the total return for the stock, and the independent variable is the total return for the stock market, such as the return of a market index. The slope of this regression equation is referred to as the stock's beta. Many financial analysts prefer to measure the risk of a stock by computing the stock's beta value. Suppose the following data show the monthly percentage returns for the market index and the company for a recent year. Month Market Index% Return Company% Return August -3 4 September 8 7 October 0 1 November -2 1 December -5 0 January 0 0 February 7 7 March 0 -2 April 2 0 May -5 -1 a.

- The November 24, 2001, issue of The Economist published economic data for 15 industrialized nations. Included were the percent changes in gross domestic product (GDP), industrial production (IP), consumer prices (CP), and producer prices (PP) from Fall 2000 to Fall 2001, and the unemployment rate in Fall 2001 (UNEMP). An economist wants to construct a model to predict GDP from the other variables. A fit of the model GDP = , + P,IP + 0,UNEMP + f,CP + P,PP + € yields the following output: The regression equation is GDP = 1.19 + 0.17 IP + 0.18 UNEMP + 0.18 CP – 0.18 PP Predictor Coef SE Coef тР Constant 1.18957 0.42180 2.82 0.018 IP 0.17326 0.041962 4.13 0.002 UNEMP 0.17918 0.045895 3.90 0.003 CP 0.17591 0.11365 1.55 0.153 PP -0.18393 0.068808 -2.67 0.023 Predict the percent change in GDP for a country with IP = 0.5, UNEMP = 5.7, CP = 3.0, and PP = 4.1. a. b.
