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 5%, and IR 4.0 %. A stock with a beta of 2.1 on IP and 1.4 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 18% . If industrial production actually grows by 6%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 5.8%, what is your revised estimate of the expected rate of return on the stock? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

1. Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 5% and IR 6%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.6 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 13%. If industrial production actually grows by 6%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 9%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock?

Rate of return
The U.S. risk-free rate is currently 4 percent. The expected U.S. market return is 11 percent. Solso, Inc. is considering a project that has a beta of 1.5. What is the cost of dollar-denominated equity?
The expected return on a share of ExxonMobil stock in the U.S. is 15.6% while the expected return on a share of Royal Dutch Shell stock is 12.6% in the Netherlands. If the pure rate of return is 2% in both countries and the required risk premium is 6% for each company's stock, what is the long-term expected inflation rate in each country if the multiplicative form of the Fisher model is used in making the calculations?
Suppose that right now, the market price of one Chinese yuan (CNY) is USD 0.15; that is, one can purchase or sell CNY1.00 for USD0.15. The proportional standard deviation for CNY in terms of USD is 20%. The Chinese riskless return rate over a two-year period is projected to be 8%; U.S. ratesover the same period are 2%. What is the dollar value of a two-year European put on a single yuan if the exercise price of the put is USD0.20?
According to the quantity theory of money, if the longminusrun economic growth rate is 3.6%, by how much should the Fed increase the money supply if it wants inflation to be 3%?
Suppose a US investor purchases a UK equity. Let the expected pound return on the U.K. equity be 20%, and let its volatility (measured by standard deviation) be 30%. The volatility of the dollar/pound exchange rate is 10%. The risk-free rate in the U.S. (denoted rf) is 2%. Compute the volatility of the dollar return on the U.K. equity when the correlation (denoted as r) between the U.K. equity's return in pounds and changes in the dollar/pound exchange rate is 0.5.
Assume that the risk-free rate, RF, is currently 8%, the market return, RM, is 12%, and asset A has a beta, of 1.10. (could be done on word document or excel). Assume that as a result of recent economic events, inflationary expectations have declined by 3%, lowering RF and RM to 5% and 9%, respectively. Draw the new SML on the axes in part a, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. Assume that as a result of recent events, investors have become more risk averse, causing the market return to rise by 2%, to be14%. Ignoring the shift in part c, draw the new SML on the same set of axes that you used before, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. From the previous changes, what conclusions can be drawn about the impact of (1) decreased inflationary expectations and (2) increased risk aversion on the required returns of risky assets?
1. Assume that you expect the economy's rate of inflation to be 3 percent, giving an RFR of 6 percent and a market return (RM) of 12 percent. a. Draw the SML under these assumptions. b. Subsequently, you expect the rate of inflation to increase from 3 percent to 6 percent. What effect would this have on the RFR and the RM? Draw another SML on the graph from Part a. c. Draw an SML on the same graph to reflect an RFR of 9 percent and an RM of 17 percent. How does this SML differ from that derived in Part b? Explain what has transpired.
