With reference to question #8, assume inflationary expectations rise by 1%. As a result, interest rates rise by 1%, but, suppose now that our forecast of nominal dividend growth also rises by 1% to 4.50%. In this scenario, the "market" PE Ratio should be expected to: Increase. Decrease. Remain unchanged. all of the above. none of the above.

1.Blue Bell stock is expected to return 20% percent in a boom, 10% percent in a normal economy, and lose 2 percent in a recession. The probabilities of a boom, normal economy, and a recession are 7 percent, 89 percent, and 4 percent, respectively. What is the standard deviation of the returns on this stock?
Suppose the common stock of United Industries has a beta of 0.83 and an expected return of 8.7 percent. The risk-free rate of return is 3.4 percent while the inflation rate is 2.8 percent. What is the expected market risk premium? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
8 - Suppose research has shown that "common stocks", as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500, have had an average cash flow payout ratio of 35%. We forecast the average cash flow payout ratio will continue at 35% and that cash flows will grow by an average of 3.50% annually over the long term. With long-term Treasury bond rates yielding 1.70%, we decide a "fair" rate of return on equities is 5.50%. The PE Ratio on the S&P 500 should be approximately: 3.89. d. 17.50. 5.00. e. 23.72. 11.86. f. 40.00.

Suppose that the Treasury bill rate is 7% rather than 5%, as we assumed in Table 12.1, and the expected return on the market is 11%. Use the betas in that table to answer the following questions. c. Suppose now that you continued to assume that the expected return on the market remained at 11%. Now what would be the expected returns on each stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations.

Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.50% and the future rate of inflation is expected to be constant at 4.80%. What rate of return would you expect on a 1-year Treasury security, assuming the pure expectations theory is valid?

The common stock of Manchester & Moore is expected to earn 14.8 percent in a recession, 8 percent in a normal economy, and lose 5.8 percent in a booming economy.

d4) Assume that the MLIK100 Index at close of trading yesterday was 4,000 and the daily volatility of the index was estimated as 0.8% per day at that time. The parameters in a GJR GARCH model are ω = 0.000005, α = 0.08, = 0.04 and β = 0.92. Where is the asymmetry parameter. If the MLIK100 moves by 50 points by close of trading today, what will the new volatility estimate be, per day, if the move is an increase or a decrease?
