Investor X runs a regression of excess returns of stock A on excess market returns. They find that stock A's excess returns take the following functional form: y = 0.003 + 1.12x. If the expected market return over the next year is 12.5% and the risk-free rate is 1.50%, what return should investor X expect from stock A for the same period? a) 15.50% b) 15.80% c) 13.82% d) 14.12%

Porter Plumbing's stock had a required return of 10.50% last year, when the risk-free rate was 5.50% and the market risk premium was 4.75%. Then an increase in investor risk aversion caused the market risk premium to rise by 2%. The risk-free rate and the firm's beta remain unchanged. What is the company's new required rate of return? (Hint: First calculate the beta, then find the required return.) Select the correct answer. a. 12.61% b. 11.71% c. 12.01% d. 12.31% e. 12.91%

The market return is 12% and the risk-free rate is 4%. Smallish Inc. has a market beta of 0.9, an SMB beta of 0.65, and an HML beta of 0.52. The risk premium on HML and SMB are both 2%. If the single-factor model generates a regression coefficient of 0.8, using the Fama-French Three-Factor Model, what is the difference in returns between the Three-Factor model and the single-factor model expected returns on Smallish Inc. stock? A) 4.30% B) 6.86% C) 3.14% D) 5.46%
