Chapter 12, Problem 2IEE

Using the data from the following​ table,calculate the return for investing in this stock from January 1 to December 31. Prices are after the dividend has been paid. Stock Price Dividend     Jan 1 ​$50.18     Mar 31 ​$51.11 ​$0.58   Jun 30 ​$49.56 ​$0.58   Sep 30 ​$51.93 ​$0.75   Dec 31 ​$52.53 ​$0.75 The return from January 1 to March 31 is enter your response here. ​(Round to five decimal​ places.) Part 2 The return from March 31 to June 30 is enter your response here. ​(Round to five decimal​ places.) Part 3 The return from June 30 to September 30 is enter your response here. ​(Round to five decimal​ places.) Part 4 The return from September 30 to December 31 is enter your response here. ​(Round to five decimal​ places.) Part 5 enter your response here​%. ​(Round to two decimal​ places.)

The attached file contains hypothetical data for working this problem. Goodman Corporation’s and Landry Incorporated’s stock prices and dividends, along with the Market Index, are shown in the file. Stock prices are reported for December 31 of each year, and dividends reflect those paid during the year. The market data are adjusted to include dividends. Use the data given to calculate annual returns for Goodman, Landry, and the Market Index, and then calculate average returns over the five-year period.  (Hint: Remember, returns are calculated by subtracting the beginning price from the ending price to get the capital gain or loss, adding the dividend to the capital gain or loss, and dividing the result by the beginning price. Assume that dividends are already included in the index.   Also, you cannot calculate the rate of return for 2015 because you do not have 2014 data.)

You turn on the news and find out the stock market has gone up 16%. Based on the data in the table​ here, by how much do you expect each of the following stocks to have gone up or​ down:             Starbucks        Tiffany & Co.  Hershey          McDonald's Beta          0.80                  1.7              0.33                     0.63 (1)​ Starbucks, (2) Tiffany​ & Co.,​ (3) Hershey, and​ (4) McDonald's. The expected change in the Starbucks stock is how much %?  (Round to one decimal​ place.)

The attached file contains hypothetical data for working this problem. Goodman Corporation’s and Landry Incorporated’s stock prices and dividends, along with the Market Index, are shown in the file. Stock prices are reported for December 31 of each year, and dividends reflect those paid during the year. The market data are adjusted to include dividends. If you formed a portfolio that consisted of 60% Goodman stock and 40% Landry stock, what would be its beta and its required return?

Use the given partial stock table. Round dollar amounts to the nearest cent when necessary. Consider the following for Boeing (BA). What is the difference between the highest and lowest prices paid for this stock during the last 52 weeks? Suppose that you own 600 shares of this stock. What dividend do you receive this year? How many shares of the stock were sold during the trading day? Did the price of a share of this stock increase or decrease during the day shown in the table? What was the price of a share of this stock at the start of the train day?

Use the data below to construct the advance/decline line for the stock market. Volume figures are in thousands of shares.

The following table shows your stock positions at the beginning of the year, the dividends that each stock paid during the year, and the stock prices at the end of the year. Company Shares Beginning of Year Price Dividend Per Share End of Year Price US Bank 300 $ 44.60 $ 2.17 $ 44.53 PepsiCo 200 60.18 1.38 63.65 JDS Uniphase 500 19.98 17.76 Duke Energy 200 28.00 1.37 33.76 What is your portfolio dollar return and percentage return?

How do i use the following data to construct a stock bar chart for the 5 day period?

Percentages need to be entered in decimal format, for instance 3% would be entered as .03.)   Stock A and Stock B produced the returns shown on the spreadsheet during the past five years (Year -1 is one year ago, Year -2 is two years ago, and so forth).  According to the spreadsheet, what is the average rate of return for each stock during the past five years?  (Refer to Row 26 for average rate of return.) Based on the information in the spreadsheet, what is the coefficient of variation for each stock and for the portfolio?  (Refer to Row 28 for the coefficient of variation.)  If you are a risk-averse investor, would you prefer to hold Stock A, Stock B, or the portfolio?  Why? Consider a third stock, Stock C, that is available for inclusion in the portfolio.  Stock C produced the returns shown in the table during the past five years (add this to column D under Stock C).  What is the average return, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for Stock C?  (Refer to Row 27 for…
