Stocks A and B have the following data. Assuming the stock market is efficient and the stocks prices are in equilibrium – i.e. – prices are equal to their intrinsic value, which of the following statements is CORRECT?   A B Price $25 $40 Expected growth 7% 9% Expected return 10% 12% ​ The two stocks should have the same expected dividend. The two stocks could not be in equilibrium with the numbers given in the question. A's expected dividend is $0.50. B's expected dividend is $0.75. A's expected dividend is $0.75 and B's expected dividend is $1.20.

onsider the following table, which gives a security analyst’s expected return on two stocks and the market index in two scenarios:  Scenario Probability Market Return Aggressive Stock Defensive Stock 1 0.5 7% 2.2% 5.0% 2 0.5 15 25 12   Required: a. What are the betas of the two stocks? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)   b. What is the expected rate of return on each stock? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Consider the following information on Stocks I and II: Probability of State of Economy State of Economy Rate of Return if State Occurs Stock I Stock II Recession .22 .045 -.37 Normal .62 .355 .29 Irrational .16 exuberance .215 .47 The market risk premium is 11.7 percent, and the risk-free rate is 4.7 percent. a. Calculate the beta and standard deviation of Stock I. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter the standard deviation as a percent and round both answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. b. Calculate the beta and standard deviation of Stock II. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter the standard deviation as a percent and round both answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. c. Which stock has the most systematic risk? d. Which one has the most unsystematic risk? e. Which stock is "riskier"? a. Beta Standard deviation b. Beta Standard deviation c. Most systematic risk d. Most unsystematic risk e. "Riskier" stock 1.94 % %

2. Based on the following information calculate the expected return and standard deviation for the two stocks: State of economy Probability of state of economy Rate of return if state occur Stock A Stock B -.17 .12 .29 Recession Normal Boom 3. How should the price of a stock change when it goes ex-dividend? 4. Suppose stock in Gamma Air Freight has a beta of 1.25. the market risk premium is 7% and the risk free rate is 6%. Alpha's last dividend was $2 per share and the dividend is expected to grow at 8% indefinitely. The stock currently sells for $30. What is Gamma's cost of equity capital? .05 .65 .30 .05 .08 .13

Intro We know the following expected returns for stocks A and B, given different states of the economy: State (s) Probability E(rA.s) E(rB,s) -0.1 0.04 0.08 0.05 0.13 0.07 Recession 0.2 Normal 0.5 Expansion 0.3 Part 1 What is the expected return for stock A? 3+ decimals Submit

Scenario 2: The following table shows the returns for the market index (Market - M) and the returns for two stocks (Asset X & Y) under three scenarios. Assume each scenario has an equal chance of occurring (33%). Bad Okay Good Market - M-5% 5% 15% Asset - X -2%-3% 25% Asset - Y -4%-6% 30% What is the correlation of "Asset - Y" to "Market M"? enter your number to two decimal places without the percent sign. Example 23% enter as .23.

Which of the following will (holding everything else constant) cause the price earnings (P/E) ratio of a stock to decrease: The required return increases The risk-free rate decreases The stock's beta decreases The required return decreases

U Assume CAPM holds. We know expected return and beta of two stocks: Stock A: E[ra] = 10% and beta_a = 1.5 Stock B: E[rb] = 5% and beta_b = 0.5 What would be the expected return of a stock that has a beta of 0.9? O 6.5% Ⓒ7% O 7.5% O 6% Question 5 Which of the following statements is false? o The CAPM follows from equilibrium conditions in a frictionless mean-variance economy with rational investors According to CAPM, everyone should hold a mix of the market portfolio and the risk-free asset. According to CAPM, everyone can generate positive return by buying positive alpha stocks and by selling negative alpha stocks. According to CAPM, the expected return on a stock is a linear function of its beta.

7. Consider the following information about Stocks I and II: Probability of Rate of Return if State Occurs State of Economy Recession Normal Irrational exuberance State of Economy .25 .50 .25 Stock I .02 .21 .06 Stock Il -.25 .09 .44 The market risk premium is 8 percent, and the risk-free rate is 4 percent. Which stock has the most systematic risk? Which one has the most unsystematic risk? Which stock is "riskier"? Explain.

Consider the three stocks in the following table. P(t) represents price at time t, and Q(t) represents shares outstanding at time t. Stock C splits two-for-one in the last period. What is the rate of return for the price-weighted index that is formed using Stocks A, B, and C from time period 1 to time period 2? B C zero P(1) 95 45 100 -20.83% 20.83% None of the above Q(1) 100 200 200 P(2) 95 45 50 Q(2) 100 200 400
