| 8 - 22 | Evaluation risk and return Bartman Industriess and Reynolds Inc.s stock prices | |||||||||
| and dividends, along with the Winslow 5000 Index, are shown here for the period | ||||||||||
| 2009-2014. The Winslow 5000 data are adjusted to include dividends. | ||||||||||

| a. | Use the data to calculate annual rates of return for Bartman, Reynolds, and the Winslow | |||||||||
| 5000 Index. Then calculate each entitys average return over the 5-year period. (Hint: | ||||||||||
| remember, returns are calculated by subtracting the beginning price from the ending price | ||||||||||
| to get the capital gain or loss, adding the dividend to the capital gain or loss, and dividing | ||||||||||
| the result by the beginning price. assume that dividends are already included in the index. | ||||||||||
| Also, you cannot calculate the rate of return for 2009 because you do not have 2008 data) | ||||||||||
| b. | Calculate the standard deviations of the returns for Bartman, Reynolds, and the Winslow | |||||||||
| 5000. (Hint: Use the ample standard deviation formulate, Equation 8.2a in this chapter, | ||||||||||
| which corresponds to the STDEV function Excel.) | ||||||||||
| c. | Calculate the coefficients of variation for Bartman, Reynolds, and the Winslow 5000. | |||||||||
| d. | Construct a scatter diagram that shows Bartmans and Reynolds returns on the vertical | |||||||||
| axis and the Winslow 5000 Indexs returns on the horizontal axis. | ||||||||||
| e. | Estimate Bartmans and Reynolds betas by running regressions of their returns against | |||||||||
| the indexs returns. (Hint: Refer to Web Appendix8A.) Are these betas consistent with | ||||||||||
| your graph? | ||||||||||
| f. | Assume that the risk-free rate on long-term Treasury bonds is 6.04%. Assume also that | |||||||||
| the average annual return on the Winslow 5000 is not a good estimate of the markets | ||||||||||
| required return it is too high. So use 11% as the expected return on the market. Use the | ||||||||||
| SML equation to calculate the two companies required returns. | ||||||||||
| g. | If you formed a portfolio that consisted of 50% Bartman and 50% Reynolds, what would | |||||||||
| the portfolios beta and required return be? | ||||||||||
| h. | Suppose an investor wants to include Bartman Industries stock in his portfolio. Stocks | |||||||||
| A, B, and C are currently in the portfolio; and their betas are 0.769, 0.985, and 1.423, | ||||||||||
| respectively. Calculate the new portfolios required return if it consists of 25% of | ||||||||||
| Bartman, 15% of Stock A, 40% of Stock B, and 20% of Stock C. | ||||||||||
