The average returns on a portfolio of stocks are normally distributed. The average annual return is 8.25%, and the standard deviation is 4.5%. What is the probability that you lose more than 5.25% in a single year? O between 0.5% and 2.5% less than 0.5% O 50% higher than 1%

Expected return

Assume that the risk-free rate is 6.4% and the market return is 8%. Calculate the expected rate of return of a stock with a volatility (beta) of 3%.

Assume the risk-free rate is 3% and the market return is 10%. Stock X Stock Y Stock Z Beta 0.65 0.90 Current price $13.50 $26.50 Correlation (X/Y) = 0.35 (X/Z) = 0 (Y/Z) = 0.55 a) Most equity research concludes that Stock X is much more volatile compared to the “market". On average, Stock X's volatility is about 1.5 times that of the stock market. Based on CAPM, estimate the required return of Stock X. b) It is expected that Stock Y will pay a per share dividend of $0.43 one year from now, and the dividend will increase by an average of 6% per year in the foreseeable future. According to CAPM, is Stock Y overvalued or undervalued? c) Assume that Stock Z is fairly-priced today. Stock Z has just paid a dividend of $2. It is expected that its dividend will increase by 50% in the first year, 0% in the second year, 10% in the third year, and starting from the fourth year, the company will maintain the dividend growth rate to be 5% forever. How much would Stock Z be worth today if its…

Stock R has a beta of 2.0, Stock S has a beta of 0.35, the required return on an average stock is 9%, and the risk-free rate of return is 3%. By how much does the required return on the riskier stock exceed the required return on the less risky stock? Round your answer to two decimal places. %

You expect the risk-free rate to be 4 percent and the market return to be 10 percent. You also have the following information about three stocks.

(Enter your answer as a percentage, i.e., "10.25" for 10.25 percent

The returns of a stock follow the normal distribution, with average return of 13.2% and standard deviation of 23.7%. What is the probability that in any given year, the stock's return will be between -34.2% and +36.9%? Assume the following: the one standard deviation probability range is 0.68; the two standard deviation probability range is 0.95; and the three standard deviation probability range is 0.99. 0.685 O 0.955 O 0.750 0.815 O 0.950
