Answer to Problem 1PS

The expected rate of return is 15.5% of the stock.

Explanation of Solution

Here, the expected rate of return is calculated as given below,

Return rate = [E(R)+β1F1+β2F2] , here first we calculated F1 and F2 .

Now calculate F1 , A the value of actual (IP) is 5% and E (IP) is 3%

  F1 = 5%  3%   = 2%

Now calculate factor F2 , F2= [Actual (IR)  E (IR)],

  F2= 8%  5%     = 3%,

Now substitute the values of factor in equation, we get,

  Return rate(R)=[E(R)+β1F1+β2F2]=12%+1×2%+0.5×3%=15.5%

Hence the expected rate of return is 15.5 % for the firm.

Suppose that two factors have been identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 3%, and IR 5%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and .5 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 12%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 8%, what is your revised estimate of the expected rate of return on the stock?
Suppose that two factors have been identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 5%, and IR 4.0%. A stock with a beta of 1.2 on IP and 0.6 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 8%. If industrial production actually grows by 6%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 6.0%, what is your revised estimate of the expected rate of return on the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Suppose that two factors have been identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 3%, and IR 3.4%. A stock with a beta of 2.8 on IP and 2.2 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 15%. If industrial production actually grows by 7%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 5.0%, what is your revised estimate of the expected return on the stock (write as percentage, rounded to one decimal place)?
