1.a) Actual return on investment= (18*200)-(23*200) / (23*200)= -0.1696/ -17%

b) (i) Dividend Yield= $1.10/23= 0.0478/ 5%

(ii) Percentage capital gain=
-5/23 =-0.2174/ -21%

c) Real rate of return on stock= [(1+6%)/ (1+2%)] -1 = 0.039 / 4%

a) β for AMZN = 0.9 E(r) =0.01+0.9*(0.08-0.01) = 0.073 Β for GE = 1.47 E(r) =0.01+1.47*(0.08-0.01) = 0.1129
b) Because Rf and Rm remain unchanged while we calculate expected returns, β is a key factor explaining why the expected return of one stock is higher than the others’. If Beta = 1, then the stock is exactly as volatile as the entire stock market. Beta greater than 1 means the stock is more volatile than the market and vice versa. GE has a higher expected return because it has a higher level of market risk, and AMZN has a lower expected return than GE.
