Suppose that your estimates of the possible one-year returns from investing in the common stock of the AYZ Corporation were as follows:
Probability of occurrence
0.15
0.25
0.3
0.15
0.15
Possible return
-10%
5%
20%
35%
50%
What are the expected return?
Calculate the standard deviation?
case study: should stockholders wealth maximization be thought of as long term or a short term goal? for example, if one action increases a firm's stock price from a current level of 40 to 45 in 6 months and then to 50 in 5 years but another action keeps the stock at 40 for several years but then increases it to 70 in 5 year, which action would be better?
The annual rate of return on any given stock can be found as the stock's dividend for the year plus the change in the stock's price during the year, divided by its beginning-of-year price. If you obtain such data on a large portfolio of stocks, like those in the S&P 500, find the rate of return on each stock, and then average those returns, this would give you an idea of stock market returns for the year in question.

- What makes for a good investment? Use the approximate yield formula or a financial calculator to rank the following investments according to their expected returns. Buy a stock for $30 a share, hold it for three years, and then sell it for $60 a share (the stock pays annual dividends of $2 a share). Buy a security for $40, hold it for two years, and then sell it for $100 (current income on this security is zero). Buy a one-year, 5 percent note for $1,000 (assume that the note has a $1,000 par value and that it will be held to maturity).arrow_forwardEach stock's rate of return in a given year consists of a dividend yield (which might be zero) plus a capital gains yield (which could be positive, negative, or zero). Such returns are calculated for all the stocks in the S&P 500. A weighted average of those returns, using each stock's total market value, is then calculated, and that average return is often used as an indicator of the "return on the market."arrow_forwardYou want to check if GRBH stock is fairly priced in the markets by using the fundamental analysis. For this purpose, you have gathered the following information: GRBH pays dividends once a year and the next dividend payment is expected to be made in one year. You project the EPS of the first and second year to be $5 and $7 respectively. The company dividend payout ratio is stable at 0.2. At the end of the second year, you assume that the company would become the average company in the industry. The industry average PE ratio is 8. You believe that the appropriate required rate of return on GRBH stock is 10% (CCR per annum). And the current market price of GRBH stock is $45. ind the present value of GRBH stock based on the information above. Is the stock over- or under-priced?arrow_forward
