Will Power is forecasting risk and return for 2 stocks, Roll and Ross. He predicts that there is a 40% chance that the economy performs poorly, and in that worst-case scenario, Roll will earn a -10% whereas Ross will earn a 21% for the month. He also predicts that there is a 60% chance that the economy will achieve great growth and in this best-case scenario, he expects that Roll will earn a 28% return while Ross will earn 8%. Based on Will’s estimation, calculate the risk and return AND interpret in plain English for a $100,000 portfolio, in which $35,000 invested in Roll and the rest of the investment invested in Ross.

An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%. If ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = 20.4, and di = 1.3, what is the stock’s predicted return?
An analyst is studying the movement of the stock Shrek. His research and came up with a different rates of return for Shrek, 25% for strong and 10% for weak economic scenarios. Based on the latest economic outlook, the probability of having a strong, normal, and weak economy, are 30%, 50%, and 20%, respectively. The total expected return of Shrek stock is 17% considering the various probabilities. Determine the rate of return of Shrek if the economy turns normal. Sample format: XX.XX%

Please do this in Excel using relevant formulas. Stock A has a beta of 0.5, and investors expect it to return 8%. Stock B has a beta of 1.5, and investors expect it to return 12%. Use the CAPM to find the market risk premium and the expected rate of return on the market.
Stock A has expected return of 15% and standard deviation (s.d.) 20%. Stock B has expected return 20% and s.d. 15%. The two stocks have a correlation coefficient of 0.5. 1.Note that Stock A has greater risk (s.d.) that Stock B, but a lower expected return. Explain how is this possible in a world where returns on assets are as predicted by the CAPM. 2. Determine the expected return and the s.d. of portfolio P1, composed by investing 30% in stock A and 70% in stock B. 3. Consider stock C that has expected return 15% and s.d. 15%. Stock C is uncorrelated with either stock A and stock B. Determine the expected return and s.d. of portfolio P2 made by investing 50% in stock C and 50% in portfolio P1.

Michael, an analyst at Kitsch Partners (KP), models the stock of the company. Suppose that the risk-free rate rRFrRF = 6.5%, the required market return rMrM = 12.5%, the risk premium for small stocks rSMBrSMB = 3.2%, and the risk premium for value stocks rHMLrHML = 4.8%. Suppose also that Michael ran the regression for Kitsch Partners’s stock and estimated the following regression coefficients: aKPaKP = 0.00, bKPbKP = 0.9, cKPcKP = 0.2, and dKPdKP = 0.3. If Michael uses a Fama-French three-factor model, then which of the following values correctly reflects the stock’s required return? 3.18% 17.94% 7.48% 13.98%
