Introduction:
EMH which is known as efficient market hypothesis stand to be the investment theory wherein price of a share represent the entire information, however consistent alpha generation stands to be impossible. Hypothetically, the risk adjusted excess returns cannot be produced by either fundamental or technical analysis .Stock generally trade at fair value, over the stock exchange in accordance with efficient market hypothesis which makes it difficult for investors to sell stock at inflated prices or to purchase stocks at undervalued prices.

Suppose that, after conducting an analysis of past stock prices, you come up with the following observations. Which would appear to contradict the weak form of the efficient market hypothesis? Explain.a. The average rate of return is significantly greater than zero.b. The correlation between the return during a given week and the return during the following week is zero.c. One could have made superior returns by buying stock after a 10% rise in price and selling after a 10% fall.d. One could have made higher-than-average capital gains by holding stocks with low dividend yields.
Consider an event study of the following stock.

Suppose that the estimated market model is . What is the CAR (cumulative abnormal returns) for t = 3?
Abnormal returns, if a stock has a(Alpha)=.004, b(Beta)=1.2,
A. Using the market model (eq. 7.4), find the expected percent return if the market increases by 2%.
B. If the actual return is 2%, 3%, or 4%, calculate the abnormal return.

- Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? A stock's beta is calculated as the covariance between the stock's price and the market portfolio return, divided by the variance of the market portfolio return. If we assume that the market portfolio (or the S&P 500) is efficient, then changes in the value of the market portfolio represent systematic shocks to the economy. The risk premium investors can earn by holding the market portfolio is the difference between the market portfolio's expected return and the risk-free interest rate. A stock’s standard deviation is a measure of the total risk.arrow_forwardLet Ps be the current market price of a share of common stock of Company X. Let P; be the "fundamental" value of a share of common stock of Company X. Let r be the long-run average annual compounded rate of return on common stocks, ånd b be the long-run annual compounded rate of return on corporate bonds. Finally, let ɛ be a random error term. Which of the following equations best characterizes the Efficient Markets Hypothesis? Select one: O a. Ps = Pf + r+ ɛ O b. Ps = Pf + ɛ- b O c. Ps = (Pf + ɛ) x (r – b) O d.
