Let Ps be the current market price of a share of common stock of Company X. Let P; be the "fundamental" value of a share
of common stock of Company X. Let r be the long-run average annual compounded rate of return on common stocks, ånd b
be the long-run annual compounded rate of return on corporate bonds. Finally, let ɛ be a random error term. Which of the
following equations best characterizes the Efficient Markets Hypothesis?
Select one:
O a. Ps = Pf + r+ ɛ
O b. Ps = Pf + ɛ- b
O c. Ps = (Pf + ɛ) x (r – b)
O d. Ps = Pf + ɛ
which of the following past returns should mutual funds publish in their annual reports?
A.Excess return
B.Geometric average return
C.Arithmetric average return
D.Index return
a. Determine Stock X's beta coefficient.
b. Determine the arithmetic average rates of return for Stock X and the NYSE over the period given.
Calculate the standard deviations of returns for both Stock X and the NYSE.
c. Assume that the required return on equity, re, for Stock X is equal to its average return. Likewise,
assume that the market return is equal to the NYSE's average return. Using the information calculated,
what is the assumed risk-free rate in the CAPM equation?

Consider the following case: Aaron owns a two-stock portfolio that invests in Blue Liama Mining Company (BLM) and Hungry Whale Energy (HWE). Three-quarters of Aaron's portfolio value consists of BLM's shares, and the balance consists of HWE's shares.
