An analyst estimates the intrinsic value of a stock to be in the range $79 to $61. The current market price of the stock is $58. If the analyst is correct in their estimation of intrinsic value, the stock is likely to be: O A. Over-valued O B. Under-valued OC. Fairly-valued

Let's explore the difference between "expected" and "actual" return of a stock. 1) How might we calculate what the expected return of a stock should be? 2) How might we calculate the "actual" return of a stock?

When estimating the cost of equity by use of the CAPM, three potential problems are (1) whether to use long-term or short-term rates for rRF, (2) whether or not the historical beta is the beta that investors use when evaluating the stock, and (3) how to measure the market risk premium, RPM. These problems leave us unsure of the true value of rs.   a. true   b. false

Based on the following information, calculate the expected return and standard deviation for Stock A and Stock B.

A stock's returns have the following distribution: Standard deviation: Coefficient of variation: Sharpe ratio: % Demand for the Company's Products Weak Below average % Average Above average Strong Probability of this Demand Occurring Assume the risk-free rate is 3%. Calculate the stock's expected return, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and Sharpe ratio. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. Stock's expected return: 0.1 0.1 0.4 0.3 0.1 1.0 Rate of Return if this Demand Occurs (38%) (11) 15 23 56

When we compute the diluted earnings per share, under the treasury stock method for stock options, if the exercise price of the options exceeds the average market price, then: (Enter 1, 2, 3, or 4 that represents the correct answer.) we present both diluted earnings per share and basic earnings per share. we present only diluted earnings per share, but not basic earnings per share. the number of shares assumed issued will be greater than the number of shares assumed reacquired. the number of shares assumed issued will be smaller than the number of shares assumed reacquired.

The following graph plots the current security market line (SML) and indicates the return that investors require from holding stock from Happy Corp. (HC). Based on the graph, complete the table that follows:   00.51.01.52.020.016.012.08.04.00REQUIRED RATE OF RETURN (Percent)RISK (Beta)Return on HC's Stock   CAPM Elements Value Risk-free rate (rRFrRF)      Market risk premium (RPMRPM)      Happy Corp. stock’s beta      Required rate of return on Happy Corp. stock        An analyst believes that inflation is going to increase by 2.0% over the next year, while the market risk premium will be unchanged. The analyst uses the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The following graph plots the current SML. Calculate Happy Corp.’s new required return. Then, on the graph, use the green points (rectangle symbols) to plot the new SML suggested by this analyst’s prediction.
