Problem 7-12

Suppose that three stocks (A, B, and C) and two common risk factors (1 and 2) have the following relationship:

E(RA) = (1.0)1 + (0.7)2
E(RB) = (0.6)1 + (0.5)2
E(RC) = (0.8)1 + (0.6)2
  1. If 1 = 4% and 2 = 6%, what are the prices expected next year for each of the stocks? Assume that all three stocks currently sell for $20 and will not pay dividend in the next year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

    Expected price for Stock A: $

    Expected price for Stock B: $
