A researcher has determined that a two-factor model is appropriate to determine the return on a stock. The factors are the percentage change in GNP and an interest rate. GNP is expected to grow by 5 percent and the interest rate is expected to be 4.5 percent. A stock has a beta of 2.7 on the percentage change in GNP and a beta of –.73 on the interest rate. If the expected rate of return on the stock is 13 percent, what is the revised expected return on the stock if GNP actually grows by 4.6 percent and the interest rate is 4.8 percent?
Revised Expected Return = expected return + Surprises in the risk factors
= expected return + [Betai * (Actual Ratei - Expected Ratei)]
= 13% + [2.7 * (4.6% - 5%)] + [(-0.73) * (4.8% - 4.5%)]
= 13% - 1.35% - 0.22% = 11.43%

A researcher has determined that a two-factor model is appropriate to determine the return on stock. The factors are the percentage change in GNP and in interest rate. GNP is expected to grow by 3.5 percent and the interest rate is expected to be 2.9 percent. A stock has a beta of 1.3 on the percentage change in GNP and a beta of -.47 on the interest rate. If the expected rate of return on the stock is 10.2 percent,...
A researcher has determined that a two-factor model is appropriate to determine the return on a stock. The factors are the percentage change in GNP and an interest rate. GNP is expected to grow by 4.3 percent and the interest rate is expected to be 3.8 percent. A stock has a beta of 2 on the percentage change in GNP and a beta of –.82 on the interest rate. If the expected rate of return on the stock is 11...
A researcher has determined that a two-factor model is appropriate to determine the return on a stock. The factors are the percentage change in GNP and an interest rate. GNP is expected to grow by 4.4 percent, and the interest rate is expected to be 3.9 percent. A stock has a beta of 2.1 on the percentage change in GNP and a beta of –.83 on the interest rate. If the expected rate of return on the stock is 12...
Consider a three-factor APT model. The factors and associated risk premiums are: Risk Premium (%) Factor Change in gross national product (GNP) Change in energy prices Change in long-term interest rates +6.4 0.6 +2.8 Calculate expected rates of return on the following stocks. The risk-free interest rate is 6.5% a. A stock whose return is uncorrelated with all three factors. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.) b. A stock with average exposure to each factor...

Working with a two-factor APT model an investor has found two risk factors, X and Y. The investor is looking at two stocks, A and B. The expected return on stock A is 12% and that of stock B 10%. The beta (factor sensitivity) of stock A with respect to X is 1 and with respect to Y it is 1/2. The beta of stock B with respect to X is 0 and with respect to Y it is 2....

Outdoor Products stock has an expected return of 12.6 percent and betas of: βGNP = 1.52; βI = 1.06; and βEx = 1.28. This expectation is based on a three-factor model with expected values of: GNP growth of 3.2 percent; inflation of 2.9 percent; and export growth of 2.2 percent. However, actual growth in these factors turns out to be 3.6 percent, 3.2 percent, and 2.5 percent, respectively. Calculate the stock's total return if the company unexpectedly announces they had an industrial accident and the operating facilities...
model is appropriate. The cross-sectional relationship Assume a two-factor API between expect return and factor loadings indicates the price of factor 1 is 0.15 and the price of factor 2 is-02. Furthermore, you have estimated factor loadings for stock s X and Y as follows: Asset biib2 X 1.4 0.4 Y0.90.2 and the expected return on an asset having zero loading on both factors is 0.05. According to the APT, what are the approximate equilibrium returns of each of the...
Suppose that two factors have been identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 2%, and IR 2.0%. A stock with a beta of 0.9 on IP and 0.4 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 6%. If industrial production actually grows by 4%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 4.0%, what is your revised estimate of the expected...
