Ross Law received an inquiry for the following specifics. Stock C provided the following returns for the past four years: 8%,3%, -2% and 12%. Likewise, the market also provided the following returns for the past: 6%, -8%,-8% and 18%. Compute for the stock’s beta. If the required return on the market is 11% and the risk-free rate is 6%, what is the required return on Stock C, according to CAPM/SML? *

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?
An analyst gathered daily stock returns for February 1 through March 31, calculated the Fama-French factors for each day in the sample (SMBt and HML), and estimated the Fama-French regression model shown in Equation 6-21. The estimated coefficients were ai= 0, bi= 1.2, ci= -0.4, and di= 1.3. On April 1, the market return was 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) was 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) was 4.8%. Using the estimated model, what was the stock’s predicted return for April 1?
Landon Stevens is evaluating the expected performance of two common stocks, Furhman Labs, Inc., and Garten Testing, Inc. The risk-free rate is 4 percent, the expected return on the market is 11.5 percent, and the betas of the two stocks are 1.2 and .9, respectively. Landon’s own forecasts of the returns on the two stocks are 13.75 percent for Furhman Labs and 10.50 percent for Garten. Calculate the required return for each stock. Is each stock undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued?
Over the past 5 years, a stock produced returns of 23 percent, -39 percent, 4 percent, and 16 percent, and -12 percent. Based on these 5 years, which of the following is true? Group of answer choices Average return is higher than standard deviation. Average return is equal to standard deviation. Average return is lower than standard deviation. Both average return and standard deviation are positive. Both average return and standard deviation are negative.
After gathering 60 months of historical stock return data on Sheffler Industries and the Wilshire 5000 index (to approximate the market portfolio) and 60 months of historical data on Treasury bills (to approximate the risk-free rate), you run a linear regression that yields the following results: Alpha: 0.0024 (p-value: 0.0168) Beta: 1.348 (p-value: 0.0000) What can you conclude about this stock? ( explain well and type the answer ).
The attached file contains hypothetical data for working this problem. Goodman Corporation’s and Landry Incorporated’s stock prices and dividends, along with the Market Index, are shown in the file. Stock prices are reported for December 31 of each year, and dividends reflect those paid during the year. The market data are adjusted to include dividends. If you formed a portfolio that consisted of 60% Goodman stock and 40% Landry stock, what would be its beta and its required return?
You find a certain stock that had returns of 14.2 percent, −22.1 percent, 28.1 percent, and 19.1 percent for four of the last five years. Assume the average return of the stock over this period was 12.2 percent. What was the stock’s return for the missing year? What is the standard deviation of the stock’s returns?
Assume these are the stock market and Treasury bill returns for a 5-year period: Required: a. What was the risk premium on common stock in each year? b. What was the average risk premium? c. What was the standard deviation of the risk premium? (Ignore that the estimation is from a sample of data.)
