Suppose that two factors have been identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 3%, and IR 5%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and .5 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 12%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 8%, what is your revised estimate of the expected rate of return on the stock?

Nominal rates are currently 5.96%, and the estimate of expected inflation is 3.45%. Use the (precise) Fisher relationship to estimate the real rate prevailing in the economy. 9.62% 2.43% 2.51% 0.98%
