What is the expected return on this stock?
suppose your expectations regarding the stock market are as follows: State of the Economy
Probability HPR Boom 0.2 42% Normal growth 0.6 23 Recession 0.2-17 E(r) = Σss = 1p(s)r(
s) Var(r)=\sigma 2 = Σss = 1p(s)[r(s)-E(r)]2 SD (r)=\sigma = Var(r) ✓ Required: Use
above equations to compute the mean and standard deviation of the HPR on stocks. (Do
not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Assume you are using the dividend growth model to value stocks. If you expect
the inflation rate to increase, you should also expect:
O A. market value of all stocks to remain constant as the dividend growth will
offset the increase in inflation.
B. stocks that do not pay dividends to decrease in price while dividend paying
stocks maintain a constant price.
C. market value of all stocks to decrease, all else equal.
