- A company's stock price rose 2.8% in 2011, and in 2012, it increased 79.7%.a. Compute the geometric mean rate of return for the two-year period 2011-2012. (Hint: Denote an increase of 79.7% by .797.)b. If someone purchased $1,000 of the company's stock at the start of 2011, what was its value at the end of 2012?c. Over the same period, another company had a geometric mean rate of return of 10.7%. If someone purchased $1,000 of the other company's stock, how would its value compare to the value found in part (b)?arrow_forwardPlease, 1. Calculate the average stock return from 2005–2007, the standard deviation and coefficient of variation over this period. The market price of the stock was $31 at year-end 2004, $35 at year-end 2005, $42 at year-end 2006, and $55 at year-end 2007. For valuation purposes, industry experts use the dividend valuation model to value the common equity interest of industry firms. Potential investors’ required rate of return for this firm is 14 percent; growth rate is 13 percent for 2010 and 2011, and then declines to 12 percent for all later years. Market Returns: The stock returns for the market as a whole were as follows: 15.7 percent in 2005, 8.2 percent in 2006, and 12.1 percent in 2007arrow_forwardThe Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Standard Poors 500 (SP 500) indexes are used as measures of overall movement in the stock market The DJIA is based on the price movements of 30 large companies: the SP 500 is an index composed of 500 stocks. Some say the SP 500 is a better measure of stock market performance because it is broader based. The closing price for the DJIA and the SP 500 for 15 weeks, beginning with January 6, 2012, follow (Barrons web site, April 17, 2012). a. Develop a scatter chart for these data with DJIA as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between DJIA and SP 500? b. Develop an estimated regression equation showing how SP 500 is related to DJIA. What is the estimated regression model? c. What is the 95% confidence interval for the regression parameter 1? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 1 is equal to zero? d. What is the 95% confidence interval for the regression parameter 0? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 0 is equal to zero? e. How much of the variation in the sample values of SP 500 does the model estimated in part (b) explain? f. Suppose that the closing price for the DJIA is 13,500. Estimate the closing price for the SP 500. g. Should we be concerned that the DJIA value of 13,500 used to predict the SP 500 value in part (f) is beyond the range of the DJIA used to develop the estimated regression equation?arrow_forward
- Investment advisors estimated the stock market returns for four market segments: computers, financial, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. Annual return projections vary depending on whether the general economic conditions are improving, stable, or declining. The anticipated annual return percentages for each market segment under each economic condition are as follows: Assume that an individual investor wants to select one market segment for a new investment. A forecast shows improving to declining economic conditions with the following probabilities: improving (0.2), stable (0.5), and declining (0.3). What is the preferred market segment for the investor, and what is the expected return percentage? At a later date, a revised forecast shows a potential for an improvement in economic conditions. New probabilities are as follows: improving (0.4), stable (0.4), and declining (0.2). What is the preferred market segment for the investor based on these new probabilities? What is the expected return percentage?arrow_forwardWhat is the ROI on a stock purchased for $87.24 per share a few years ago, that now has a price of $62.56 per share?arrow_forwardIn the year 2016, Al-Jazeerah and Company's shares traded at $ 30 per share; this is a 25%the decline from its peak.
