Consider the two (excess return) index-model regression results for stocks A and B. The risk-free rate over the period was 7%, and the market's average return was 12%. Performance is measured using an index model regression on excess returns. Stock B Index model regression estimates R-square Residual standard deviation, (e) Standard deviation of excess returns Stock A 1% 1.2(rm -rf) 2% +0.8( rm -rf) 0.623 11.1% 22.4% 0.46 19.9% 26.5% Required: a. Calculate the following statistics for each stock: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) i. Alpha ii. Information ratio iii. Sharpe ratio iv. Treynor measure Stock A Stock B % % b. Which stock is the best choice under the following circumstances? i. This is the only risky asset to be held by the investor. ii. This stock will be mixed with the rest of the investor's portfolio, currently composed solely of holdings in the market-index fund. iii.
