- (1) Write out a formula that can be used to value any dividend-paying stock, regardless of its dividend pattern. (2) What is a constant growth stock? How are constant growth stocks valued? (3) What happens if a company has a constant gL that exceeds its rs? Will many stocks have expected growth greater than the required rate of return in the short run (i.e., for the next few years)? In the long run (i.e., forever)?arrow_forwardInvestment advisors estimated the stock market returns for four market segments: computers, financial, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. Annual return projections vary depending on whether the general economic conditions are improving, stable, or declining. The anticipated annual return percentages for each market segment under each economic condition are as follows: Assume that an individual investor wants to select one market segment for a new investment. A forecast shows improving to declining economic conditions with the following probabilities: improving (0.2), stable (0.5), and declining (0.3). What is the preferred market segment for the investor, and what is the expected return percentage? At a later date, a revised forecast shows a potential for an improvement in economic conditions. New probabilities are as follows: improving (0.4), stable (0.4), and declining (0.2). What is the preferred market segment for the investor based on these new probabilities? What is the expected return percentage?arrow_forwardAn analyst gathered the following information for a stock and market parameters: • stock beta = 1.22; • expected return on the Market = 8.17%; expected return on T-bills = 2.08%; • current stock Price = $6.2; . . . . expected stock price in one year = $14.64; expected dividend payment next year = $3.14.

Assume that the CAPM is a good description of stock price returns and that the stock’s beta is 1.5, the market’s expected return is 12%, and the risk-free rate is 5%. 1) Is the stock priced correctly now? 2) What is the alpha of the stock? 3) What would you expect to happen to the stock price in an efficient market after the announcement?

Assuming that the risk free rate is 5%, determine the risk premium for factors 1 and 2 that are consistent with the expected returns for the two stocks. You expect that in one year the prices of Stock D and E will be $55 and $36 respectively and pay no dividends. What should be the price of each stock today to be consistent with the expected return levels. b. C. Determine how to you identified if Stock D and E are overvalued, fairly valued and undervalued? d.

Betas: Stock Volatility Conceptual Overview: Explore how stock volatility relates to the beta coefficient b risk measure. The tendency of a stock to move with the market is measured by its beta coefficient, b. When first loaded, the graph shows the line for an average stock, which necessarily matches the market return. In a year when the market returns 10%, the average stock returns 10%. And in a year when the market goes down -10%, the average stock goes down -10% also. The slope of the line for the average stock is b = 1.0. A more volatile stock would change more extremely. Drag the line vertically so that it has a slope of b = 2.0. For this more volatile stock, in a year when the market returned 20%, the volatile stock did better with a 30% return, and when the market lost -10%, the volatile stock lost big with a -30% change. Now drag the line so that it has a slope of b = 0.5. This stock is less volatile than the average stock and…arrow_forwardAn analyst gathered the following information for a stock and market parameters: . stock beta= 1.11; expected return on the Market - 9.55%; expected return on T-bills- 2.03%; . current stock Price = $5.62; . . . . expected stock price in one year $11.26; expected dividend payment next year = $2.29. - Calculate the required return for this stock.

What is the coefficient of variation on the company's stock?Round your answer to two decimal places.

Stock B's returns have been -5%, 1%, -4%, 40%, and 30%. What is the correlation coefficient for returns between Stock A and Stock B7 (-0.35) -6 The Relevant Risk of a Stock: The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) e assume that investors are risk averse and demand a premium for bearing risk; at is, the higher the risk of a security, the higher its expected return must be to duce investors to buy it or to hold it. All risk except that related to broad market ovements can, and presumably will, be diversified away. After all, why accept risk at can be eliminated easily? This implies that investors are primarily concerned th the risk of their portfolios rather than the risk of the individual securities in the rtfolio. How, then, should the risk of an individual stock be measured? The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) provides one answer to that question. stock might be quite risky if held by itself, but-because…arrow_forward
