Introduction: The expected rate of return is the value which is expected by the investor after the completion of the maturity period of the investment. This gives the security to the investor for his assumptions.
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 =
Now calculate
Now calculate factor
Now substitute the values of factor in equation, we get,
Hence the expected rate of return is 15.5 % for the firm.

- 1. Suppose two factors are 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 6%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.6 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 13%. If industrial production actually grows by 6%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 9%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock?

- Suppose that in 2021, there are three possible growth rates for the US economy: 8%, 6%, and 4%. Suppose that the three scenarios are equally likely to occur. Further assume that the return on the stock market during the year will be 20%, 10%, and 0% respectively in these three scenarios, and the return on the 10-year T-bond will be -1%, 2%, and 5% in these three scenarios.
