(tatements a and b are both false because the required return consists of both
a di&idend yield 4D13)6 and a growth rate. (tatements a and b don’t mention
the growth rate. (tatement c is true because if the required return for (toc#
A is higher than that of (toc# +! and if the di&idend yield for (toc# A is
lower than (toc# +’s! the growth rate for (toc# A must be higher to offset
this. (tatement d is not necessarily true because the growth rate could go
either way depending upon how high the di&idend yield is. (tatement e is also
not necessarily true.
')* Market equilirium Answer: Diff: E N
$he correct answer is statement b. $he reali%ed return is an historical
return. It is what has already happened in the past. $here is no reason that
the expected return in the future should equal the return it has reali%ed in
the past. $herefore! statement a is incorrect. If the expected return does
not equal the required return! then mar#ets are not in equilibrium. If you are
expecting a higher return than you require 4gi&en the le&el of ris#6 for a
stoc#! then the stoc# will be a bargain.E
