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. Construct a scatter diagram graph that shows Goodman’s and Landry’ returns on the vertical axis and the Market Index’s returns on the horizontal axis.

Question
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.
  1. Construct a scatter diagram graph that shows Goodman’s and Landry’ returns on the vertical axis and the Market Index’s returns on the horizontal axis.

2 a. Use the data given to calculate annual returns for Goodman, Landry, and the Market Index, and then
calculate average returns over the five-year period. (Hint: Remember, returns are calculated by subtracting
the beginning price from the ending price to get the capital gain or loss, adding the dividend to the capital
5 gain or loss, and dividing the result by the beginning price. Assume that dividends are already included in the
index. Also, you cannot calculate the rate of return for 2015 because you do not have 2014 data.)

46 It is easiest to make scatter diagrams with a data set that has the X-axis variable in the left column,
47 so we reformat the retums data calculated above and show it just below.

72 To make the graph, we first selected the range with the returns and the column heads, then clicked the chart wizard,
73 then choose the scatter diagram without connected lines. That gave us the data points. We then used the drawing
74 toolbar to make free-hand ("by eye") regression lines, and changed the lines color and weights to match the dots.
