The following graph plots the current security market line (SML) and indicates the return that investors require from holding stock from Happy Corp. (HC). Based on the graph, complete the table that follows. REQUIRED RATE OF RETURN (Percent] 20.0 16.0 12.0 Return on HC's Stock 8.0 4.0O 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 RISK (Beta) CAPM Elements Value Risk-free rate (rRF) 4.0% Market risk premium (RPM) 4.4% Happy Corp. stock's beta Required rate of return on 7.6% 2.2% Happy Corp. stock An analyst believes that inflation is going to increase by 2.0% over the next year, while the market risk premium will be unchanged. The analyst uses the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The following graph plots the current SML Calculate Happy Corp.'s new required return. Then, on the graph, use the green points (rectangle symbols) to plot the new SML suggested by this analyst's prediction. Happy Corp.'s new required rate of return is
Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results: RA = 3.50% + 0.65RM + еA RB ом = -1.60% +0.80RM + eB = = 21%; R-squareд 0.22; R-squareg = 0.14 Assume you create a portfolio Q, with investment proportions of 0.50 in a risky portfolio P, 0.30 in the market index, and 0.20 in T-bill. Portfolio P is composed of 60% Stock A and 40% Stock B. Required: a. What is the standard deviation of portfolio Q? Note: Calculate using numbers in decimal form, not percentages. For example use "20" for calculation if standard deviation is provided as 20%. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. b. What is the beta of portfolio Q? Note: Calculate using numbers in decimal form, not percentages. For example use "20" for calculation if standard deviation is provided as 20%. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. c. What is the "firm-specific" risk of portfolio Q? Note:…

The index model has been estimated using historical excess return data for stocks A, B, and C, with the following results: RA = 0.02 + 0.9RM + eA RB = 0.04 + 1.2RM + eB RC = 0.10 + 1.ORM + eC OM oM = 0.22 o(eA) = 0.21 o(eB ) = 0.11 o(eC ) = 0.23 a. What are the standard deviations of stocks A, B, and C? b. Break down the variances of stocks A, B, and C into their systematic and firm-specific components. c.

. The following questions are related to modern portfolio theory. • Assume there are only two stocks in the equity market. •The risk-free rate is 1.00%. Stock Return Volatility Correlation Matrix Y 0.7 1.0 X Y X 15.00% 20.00% 1.0 10.00% 15.00% 0.7 (a) Make an investment portfolio using the risky assets that has an expected return 12%.

Stocks A and B have the following data. Assuming the stock market is efficient and the stocks are in equilibrium, which of the following statements is CORRECT? A B Price $25 $25 Expected growth (constant) 10% 5% Required return 15% 15% Select one: a. The two stocks should not sell at the same price. If their prices are equal, then a disequilibrium must exist. b. Stock A has a higher dividend yield than Stock B. c. Stock A's expected dividend at t = 1 is only half that of Stock B. d. Currently the two stocks have the same price, but over time Stock B's price will pass that of A. e. Since Stock A's growth rate is twice that of Stock B, Stock A's future dividends will always be twice as high as Stock B's.
