If the return on stock A in year 1 was -4 %, in year 2 was -7 %, in year 3 was 20 9% and in year 4 was 1%, what was the standard deviation of returns for stock A over this four year period? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place and record without a percent sign. If your final answer is negative, place a minus sign before the number with no space between the sign and the number).

An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%. If ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = 20.4, and di = 1.3, what is the stock’s predicted return?
You have observed the following returns over time: Assume that the risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 5%. What are the betas of Stocks X and Y? What are the required rates of return on Stocks X and Y? What is the required rate of return on a portfolio consisting of 80% of Stock X and 20% of Stock Y?
Two-Asset Portfolio Stock A has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 40%. Stock B has an expected return of 18% and a standard deviation of 60%. The correlation coefficient between Stocks A and B is 0.2. What are the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio invested 30% in Stock A and 70% in Stock B?
A stock is trading at $80 per share. The stock is expected to have a yearend dividend of $4 per share (D1 = $4), and it is expected to grow at some constant rate, g, throughout time. The stock’s required rate of return is 14% (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return). What is your forecast of gL?
Your client has decided that the risk of the bond portfolio is acceptable and wishes to leave it as it is. Now your client has asked you to use historical returns to estimate the standard deviation of Blandy’s stock returns. (Note: Many analysts use 4 to 5 years of monthly returns to estimate risk, and many use 52 weeks of weekly returns; some even use a year or less of daily returns. For the sake of simplicity, use Blandy’s 10 annual returns.)
