How much does the riskier stock’s required return exceed the less risky one?
How much does the riskier stock’s required return exceed the less risky one?
Given both beta for both companies, the required return, risk-free rate… find out how much Beale’s required return exceeds Foley’s?
Given a rate of inflation, real risk-free rate, market risk premium, the company beta, and average realized rate of return… determine the required return.
Given rRF, rM and bi… determine the required return for stock I. After, you are asked to show the impact on rM and ri when the risk-free rate changes. Finally, you are asked to calculate the changes in ri as a result of changes in rM.
Given a table of expected returns, standard deviations, and betas for stocks A, B, and C… determine the market risk premium, the beta for Fund P, and the required return on Fund P. Given that the three stocks are not perfectly correlated… comment on the portfolio’s standard deviation given that the three stocks are not perfectly correlated.
Given the beta for both companies, risk-free rate, expected rate of falling inflation in percentage points, and what the required rate of the market falls to… find the difference in the required returns for HRI and LRI?
Given the value of the portfolio, the portfolio beta, required return, risk-free rate, and the amount you receive… find the required return on your portfolio if you invest in the stock.
Given the portfolio value, beta, risk-free rate, market risk premium, manager’s expected amount to receive, and what the manager wants the required return to be… find the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio.
Given expected returns, beta coefficients, and standard deviations for both stocks… determine the coefficient of variation for both and interpret the results, and determine which stock will be impacted more when the market risk premium increases.
Given a table with five years worth of historical returns… calculate the average (mean) return, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation of each stock as well as for a portfolio formed with stocks A and B.
