Question

An index model regression applied to past monthly returns in Ford’s stock price produces the following estimates, which are believed to be stable over time: rF = 0.1% + 1.1rM If the market index subsequently rises by 10.2% and Ford’s stock price rises by 10%, what is the abnormal change in Ford’s stock price? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)Abnormal return ____ %

Answer 1

Answer:

(1.32%)

Explanation:

The computation of the abnormal change in Ford’s stock price is shown below:

Given that

rF = 0.1% + 1.1rM

If the market index rises by 10.2%

So, now the equation is

= 0.1% + 1.1 × 10.2%

= 0.1% + 11.22%

= 11.32%

And, the stock price rises by 10%

So, now the abnormal change in Ford stock price is

= 10% - 11.32%

= (1.32%)
