5. Assume that the economy can experience high growth, normal growth, or recession. Under these conditions, you expect the following stock market returns for the coming year: State of the Economy Probability Return High Growth +30% Normal Growth +12% Recession -15% 0.2 0.7 0.1 a. Compute the expected value of a $1,000 investment over the coming year. If you invest $1,000 today, how much money do you expect to have next year? What is the percentage expected rate of return? b. Compute the standard deviation of the percentage return over the coming year. c. If the risk-free return is 7 percent, what is the risk premium for a stock market investment?

Start with the partial model in the file Ch07 P25 Build a Model.xlsx on the textbook’s Web site. Selected data for the Derby Corporation are shown here. Use the data to answer the following questions. Calculate the estimated horizon value (i.e., the value of operations at the end of the forecast period immediately after the Year-4 free cash flow). Assume growth becomes constant after Year 3. Calculate the present value of the horizon value, the present value of the free cash flows, and the estimated Year-0 value of operations. Calculate the estimated Year-0 price per share of common equity.
you are forecasting future free cash flows as part of your effort to value a stock. You believe the Year six free cash flows will be $1 million, that the growth rate after Year 6 will be 3%, and that the required rate of return on equity for this stock is 8%. Compute the value today of this “continuing value”, assuming constant growth. Note that the present value factor for a dollar to be received at the end of year 6 is 0.63 and the present value of a dollar received at the end of year five is 0.68, when the discount rate is 8%.
Assume the economy has an 6 percent chance of booming, am 8 percent chance of being recessionary, and being normal the remainder of the time. A stock is expected to return 22.5 percent in a boom, 11.5 percent in a normal economy, and −8 percent in a recession. What is the expected rate of return on this stock?
Given the possible returns (dividend plus capital gains) over the coming year from a $10,000 investment in Ford Motor Company common stock. State of economy recession the probability is 0.20 and the return is $-1,000. Normal year the probability is 0.60 and the return is 1,500. Boom the probability is 0.20 and the return is 2,500. Determine the expected return, standard deviation of returns, and coefficient of variation
2. If a firm’s earnings per share grew from $1 to $2 over a 10-year period, the total growthwould be 100%, but the annual growth rate would be less than 10%. True or false? Explain. (Hint: Solve for the interest rate. Make sure you put the PV or FV as a negative number.)
