1. Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 5% and IR 6%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.6 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 13%. If industrial production actually grows by 6%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 9%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
answer: rate of return=?
Required:
Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of Industrial production, IP, and the Inflation rate, IR.
IP is expected to be 5% and IR 6%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.8 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of
return of 13%. If Industrial production actually grows by 6%, while the Inflation rate turns out to be 7%, what is your best
guess for the rate of return on the stock? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Rate of return
Suppose that two factors have been identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 3%, and IR 5%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and .5 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 12%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 8%, what is your revised estimate of the expected rate of return on the stock?
