You have run two regressions of ADIDAS "AD" returns. In the first, you regressed ADIDAS monthly returns against returns on the DAX – both in DM terms: Ret "AD" = 0.04% + 1.7 (Returns dax ) R2 = 58% %3D You also regressed the returns on ADIDAS against the Morgan Stanley Capital Index "ms"that includes global equities – both returns are dollar returns: Ret "ad" = -0.02% + 0.9 (Returns "ms") R2 = 14% Assume that the seven of the top ten investors in ADIDAS are international mutual funds. (The German long term bond rate is 0.05 , the US long term bond rate is 0.062 and the equity risk premium in both markets is 6% Estimate ADIDAS cost of equity in DM terms

a. Given the following holding-period returns, LOADING... , compute the average returns and the standard deviations for the Zemin Corporation and for the market. b. If Zemin's beta is 1.87 and the risk-free rate is 6 percent, what would be an expected return for an investor owning Zemin?

During the past 5-year, the monthly average return and standard deviation of Netflix (NFLX) stock were 3.5% and 10%, respectively. For the same period, the monthly average return and standard deviation of Verizon (VZ) were 0.6% and 4.6%, respectively. The correlation between NFLX and VZ was -0.1. Assume that the monthly risk-free rate is 0.1%. ) What is the Sharpe ratio for NFLX? What is the Sharpe ratio for VZ? Show your calculation steps briefly and clearly. Find the minimum-variance portfolio (MVP), i.e., the weight of NFLX and VZ in the MVP. You do not need to show your calculation steps for this subquestion.
