Blast! stock has a beta of 0.8 and is currently selling for $22. Your DCF analysis indicates that Blast! will trade at $21.5 a year from today and you expect that the company will pay a dividend of $2 for the year. If the risk-free rate is 0.04, and the market risk premium is 0.1, what is the alpha of this stock?
You are thinking of buying a stock priced at $106 per share. Assume that the risk-free rate is about 5.1% and the market risk premium is 6.4%. If you think the stock will rise to $115 per share by the end of the year, at which time it will pay a $2.59 dividend, what beta would it need to have for this expectation to be consistent with the CAPM?
A stock has not been fluctuating much in price. Its average price is $20/share. You expect that the stock price
behaves the same way in the next year. A one-year put option is selling for $5, which has an exercise price of $20.
Suppose the risk-free rate is 0.05.
To make use of your expectation in the future price movement, you establish a straddle strategy to maximize your
profits.
If the stock price actually ends up at $20 in a year, your profit is $
. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

- You are thinking of buying a stock priced at $98 per share. Assume that the risk-free rate is about 4.7% and the market risk premium is 5.5%. If you think the stock will rise to $122 per share by the end of the year, at which time it will pay a $1.74 dividend, what beta would it need to have for this expectation to be consistent with the CAPM? The beta is (Round to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardInvestors expect the market rate of return this year to be 17.00%. The expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 0.9 is currently 15.30%. If the market return this year turns out to be 15.00%, how would you revise your expectation of the rate of return on the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)arrow_forwardA stock you are holding has a beta of 2.0 and the stock is currently in equilibrium.
