Suppose the market portfolio is equally likely to increase by 30% or decrease by 10%. Also suppose that the risk-free interest rate is 4%. a. Use the beta of a firm that goes up on average by 43% when the market goes up and goes down by 17% when the market goes down to estimate the expected retum of its stock. How does this compare with the stocks actual expected return? b.
