- A security analyst has regressed the monthly returns on Exxon Mobil equity shares over the past five years against those on the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index over the same period. The resulting regression equation is rEM = 0.08 + 1.44 rSP. Use this equation to estimate Exxon Mobil's equity beta.arrow_forward1. Assume stock prices follow a random walk and a particular stock has had the following recent stock prices: Day 1: 129.5 Day 2: 126.9 Day 3: 127.1 what is the best estimate of day 4 prices? 2. What is a stock's realized abnormal return if the stock had a 3% return and the stock had a Beta=1.24, an Alpha=0 and the excess market return was 3.3%. assume the risk free rate is 0%. Please use 5 decimal places in your response. Please write negative returns using the "-" symbol, so a negative 1% return would be written as -.01 2. If the yield to maturity for a two year zero coupon bond is 5.8% and the yield to maturity for a 3 year zero coupon bond is 6.1%, what is the implied future short rate from year 2 to 3 (use 5 decimal places, write 3.333% as .03333)?arrow_forwardA. If a stock costs $55 one month and drops to $45 the next month, what is the expected stock price the next month, if we assume the stock follows a random walk? B. Explain both technical and fundamental analysis and what form of the efficient market hypothesis corresponds to each.arrow_forward
- An analyst gathered the following information for a stock and market parameters: stock beta = 1.23; expected return on the Market = 9.32%; expected return on T-bills = 4.75%; current stock Price = $9.08; expected stock price in one year = $13.1; expected dividend payment next year = $3.8. Calculate the expected return for this stock. Please share your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardA stock with a beta of 0.9 has an expected rate of return of 10%. If the market return this year turns out to be 8 percentage points below expectations, what is your best guess as to the rate of return on the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.) Stock return %arrow_forwardYou were analyzing a stock and came up with the following probability distribution of the stock returns. What is the coefficient of variation on the company's stock?Round your answer to two decimal places. For example, if your answer is $345.6671 round as 345.67 and if your answer is .05718 or 5.7182% round as 5.72.

- You are given the following information concerning a stock and the market: Returns Year Market Stock 2014 10 % 25 % 2015 12 28 2016 13 4 2017 −14 −22 2018 37 16 2019 15 23 a. Calculate the average return and standard deviation for the market and the stock. (Use Excel to complete the problem. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the correlation between the stock and the market, as well as the stock’s beta. (Use Excel to complete the problem. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your correlation answer to 2 decimal places and beta answer to 4 decimal places.)arrow_forwardIf you look at stock prices over any year, you will find a high and low stock price for the year. Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company: High price Low price EPS Year 1 $ 62.18 40.30 2.35 a. High target price b. Low target price Year 2 $ 67.29 43.18 2.58 Year 3 $74.18 39.27 2.73 Year 4 $ 78.27 46.21 2.89 Earnings are expected to grow at 9 percent over the next year. a. What is the high target stock price in one year? Note: Do not round Intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. b. What is the low target stock price in one year? Note: Do not round Intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.arrow_forwardYou were analyzing a stock and came up with the following probability distribution of the stock returns.
