Chapter 8, Problem 28QP
Stock Valuation and PE [LO2] In the previous problem, we assumed that the stock had a single stock price for the year. However, if you look at stock prices over any year, you will find a high and low stock price for the year. Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we now have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company over the past four years:

The return on these shares over the next year depends on the state of economy, which will be described as “Boom”, “Normal”, “Slow” and “Recession”.

The correlation coefficient between shares A and B is 0.5.

Assuming the plowback ratio and the ROE are expected to remain constant forever: Suppose that you are confident that 10% is the required rate of return on the stock.

- Hi can you help me with these two problem down below 1. Suppose you observe the following situation: State of Economy Probability of State of Economy Return of Stock A Return of Stock B Bust .15 -.08 -.10 Normal .60 .11 .09 Boom .25 .30 .27 Calculate the expected return on each stock. 2. Indicate whether the following events might cause stocks in general to change price, and whether they might cause Big Widget Corp.’s stock to change price: The government announces that inflation unexpectedly jumped by 2 percent last month. Big Widget’s quarterly earnings report, just issued, generally fell in line with analysts’ expectations. The government reports that economic growth last year was at 3 percent, which generally agreed with most economists’ forecasts. The directors of Big Widget die in a plane crash. Congress approves changes to the tax code that will decreases the top marginal corporate tax rate. The legislation had been debated…arrow_forwardD3) An analyst gathers the following data: · Expected rate of return on the market = 14% · Current Dividend = $2 · Growth rate in dividends = 6% per year · Risk Free Rate = 8% · Expected rate of return on stock X if you buy at current price = 16% · Stock X’s beta = 1.25 Using this data, is this stock underpriced or overpriced and by how much (in % return).arrow_forward1. If a company has a Beta = 1.7, this stock is riskier than the S&P 500 index. That means its price fluctuates more than the market average. We can also say that the company’s stock price is more volatile than average. What’s good about a Beta > 1 and what’s bad about it? 2. T or F? Higher risk investments give the investor a higher return. If this is true, why don’t we all invest in the riskiest investments we can find? What’s the difference between fundamental analysis and technical analysis? Don’t simply define them both. Figure out what’s different. 3. If the value > price, then BUY according to value investors If the value < price, the DON’T BUY or maybe sell or hold according to value investors Would “momentum” investors say Buy or Don’t Buy? What would “income investors” want to know in order to make a BUY decision?arrow_forward
