6. You are given the following information: Return on three month T - bills - 6% Expected return on S&P 500 = 9% Draw the security - market line. Calculate the expected rate of return on a stock with a beta equal to 1.5.

The level of the Syldavian market index is 21,600 at the start of the year and 26,100 at the end. The dividend yield on the index is 4.3%. a. What is the return on the index over the year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Retur b. If the interest rate is 5%, what is the risk premium over the year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Risk Premium % Real Return % c. If the inflation rate is 7%, what is the real return on the index over the year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) %

The market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 10%. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the market risk premium is 8%. What will the market price of the security be if its beta doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Calculate the required rate of return for Mudd Enterprises assuming that investors expect a 3.4% rate of inflation in the future. The real risk-free rate is 2.0%, and the market risk premium is 6.0%. Mudd has a beta of 1.5, and its realized rate of return has averaged 9.0% over the past 5 years. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Consider the rate of return of stocks ABC and XYZ.   Year rABC rXYZ 1 22 % 34 % 2 12   12   3 14   18   4 7   0   5 1   −8         1. If you were equally likely to earn a return of 22%, 12%, 14%, 7%, or 1%, in each year (these are the five annual returns for stock ABC), what would be your expected rate of return? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)     2. What if the five possible outcomes were those of stock XYZ?     3. Given your answers to (d) and (e), which measure of average return, arithmetic or geometric, appears more useful for predicting future performance?   A. Arithmetic B. Geometric

Currently, the risk-free return is 2 percent, and the expected market rate of return is 11 percent. What is the expected return of the following three-stock portfolio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.   Investment Beta $ 200,000 1.0   100,000 0.1   700,000 2.9     %

A Company has a beta of 1.75. By what percent will the required rate of return on the stock increase if the expected market rate of return rises by 3%?
