Please select the option that best analyzes the RETURN ON EQUITY for our example company.
Return on equity tells us how well we have used our owners' investments to provide a return on their investment. Our investors require a return of 5%, so they would accept the return on equity for the year, since it is LESS than their return they accept to earn.

- Assume that you’ve just inherited $500,000 and have decided to invest a big chunk of it ($350,000, to be exact) in common stocks. Your objective is to build up as much capital as you can over the next 15 to 20 years, and you’re willing to tolerate a “good deal’’ of risk. What types of stocks (blue chips, income stocks, and so on) do you think you’d be most interested in, and why? Select at least three types of stocks and briefly explain the rationale for selecting each. Would your selections change if you were dealing with a smaller amount of money—say, only $50,000? What if you were a more risk-averse investor?arrow_forwardUsing Past Information to Estimate Required Returns Use online resources to work on this chapter's questions. Please note that website information changes over time, and these changes may limit your ability to answer some of these questions. Chapter 8 discussed the basic trade-off between risk and return. In the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) discussion, beta was identified as the correct measure of risk for diversified shareholders. Recall that beta measures the extent to which the returns of a given stock move with the stock market. When using the CAPM to estimate required returns, we would like to know how the stock will move with the market in the future, but because we dont have a crystal ball, we generally use historical data to estimate this relationship with beta. As mentioned in Web Appendix 8A, beta can be estimated by regressing the individual stock's returns against the returns of the overall market. As an alternative to running our own regressions, we can rely on reported betas from a variety of sources. These published sources make it easy for us to readily obtain beta estimates for most large publicly traded corporations. However, a word of caution is in order. Beta estimates can often be quite sensitive to the time period in which the data are estimated, the market index used, and the frequency of the data used. Therefore, it is not uncommon to find a wide range of beta estimates among the various Internet websites. 4. Select one of the four stocks listed in question 3 by entering the company's ticker symbol on the financial website you have chosen. On the screen you should see the interactive chart. Select the six-month time period and compare the stock's performance to the SP 500's performance on the graph by adding the SP 500 to the interactive chart. Has the stock outperformed or underperformed the overall market during this time period?arrow_forwardFormulate a system of equations for the situation below and solve. A private investment club has $600,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. To arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high-risk, medium-risk, and low-risk. Management estimates that high-risk stocks will have a rate of return of 15%/year; medium-risk stocks, 10%/year; and low-risk stocks, 6%/year. The members have decided that the investment in low-risk stocks should be equal to the sum of the investments in the stocks of the other two categories. Determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock if the investment goal is to have a return of $60,000/year on the total investment. (Assume that all the money available for investment is invested.) high-risk stocks$ medium-risk stocks$ low-risk stocks$arrow_forward
