Chapter 1
A Brief History of Risk and Return
ED

Concept Questions
1. For both risk and return, increasing order is b, c, a, d. On average, the higher the risk of an
investment, the higher is its expected return.
C
2. Since the price didn’t change, the capital gains yield was zero. If the total return was four percent,
then the dividend yield must be four percent.
O
3. It is impossible to lose more than –100 percent of your investment. Therefore, return distributions
are cut off on the lower tail at –100 percent; if returns were truly normally distributed, you could lose
much more.
N
4. To calculate an arithmetic return, you sum the returns and divide by the number of returns. As such,
arithmetic returns do not account for the effects of compounding (and, in particular, the effect of
volatility). Geometric returns do account for the effects of compounding and for changes in the base
N
used for each year’s calculation of returns. As an investor, the more important return of an asset is
the geometric return.
O
5. Blume’s formula uses the arithmetic and geometric returns along with the number of observations to
approximate a holding period return. When predicting a holding period return, the arithmetic return
will tend to be too high and the geometric return will tend to be too low. Blume’s formula adjusts
these returns for different holding period expected returns.
IS

6. T-bill rates were highest in the early eighties since inflation at the time was relatively high. As we
discuss in our chapter on interest rates, rates on T-bills will almost always be slightly higher than the
expected rate of inflation.
SE
7. Risk premiums are about the same regardless of whether we account for inflation. The reason is that
risk premiums are the difference between two returns, so inflation essentially nets out.

8. Returns, risk premiums, and volatility would all be lower than we estimated because aftertax returns
are smaller than pretax returns.
U
9. We have seen that T-bills barely kept up with inflation before taxes. After taxes, investors in T-bills
actually lost ground (assuming anything other than a very low tax rate). Thus, an all T-bill strategy
R
will probably lose money in real dollars for a taxable investor.

10. It is important not to lose sight of the fact that the results we have discussed cover over 80 years,
well beyond the investing lifetime for most of us. There have been extended periods during which
small stocks have done terribly. Thus, one reason most investors will choose not to pursue a 100

, percent stock (particularly small-cap stocks) strategy is that many investors have relatively short
horizons, and high volatility investments may be very inappropriate in such cases. There are other
reasons, but we will defer discussion of these to later chapters.

Solutions to Questions and Problems

NOTE: All end of chapter problems were solved using a spreadsheet. Many problems require multiple
steps. Due to space and readability constraints, when these intermediate steps are included in this
ED
solutions manual, rounding may appear to have occurred. However, the final answer for each problem is
found without rounding during any step in the problem.

Core Questions

1. Total dollar return = 100($41 – $37 + $.28) = $428.00
C
Whether you choose to sell the stock does not affect the gain or loss for the year; your stock is worth
what it would bring if you sold it. Whether you choose to do so or not is irrelevant (ignoring
commissions and taxes).
O
2. Capital gains yield   $41 – $37  / $37  .1081, or 10.81%
Dividend yield  $.28 / $37  .0076, or .76%
N
Total rate of return  10.81%  .76%  11.57%

3. Dollar return = 500($34 – $37 + $.28) = –$1,360
Capital gains yield   $34 – $37  / $37  – .0811, or – 8.11%
N

Dividend yield  $.28 / $37  .0076, or .76%
Total rate of return = –8.11% + .76% = –7.35%

Intermediate Questions

10. That’s plus or minus one standard deviation, so about two-thirds of the time, or two years out of
three. In one year out of three, you will be outside this range, implying that you will be below it one
O
year out of six and above it one year out of six.

11. You lose money if you have a negative return. With a 12 percent expected return and a 6 percent
N
standard deviation, a zero return is two standard deviations below the average. The odds of being
outside (above or below) two standard deviations are 5 percent; the odds of being below are half
that, or 2.5 percent. (It’s actually 2.28 percent.) You should expect to lose money only 2.5 years out
N
of every 100. It’s a pretty safe investment.

12. The average return is 6.0 percent, with a standard deviation of 9.8 percent, so Prob(Return < –3.8 or
Return  15.8 )  1/ 3 , but we are only interested in one tail; Prob  Return  – 3.9   1/ 6
O
, which is half of 1/ 3 (or about 16%) .
95%: 6.0 ± 2σ = 6.0 ± 2(9.8) = –13.6% to 25.6%
IS
99%: 6.0 ± 3σ = 6.0 ± 3(9.8) = –23.4% to 35.4%

13. Expected return = 16.4%; σ = 31.2%. Doubling your money is a 100% return, so if the return
distribution is normal, Z  100 – 16.4  / 31.2  2.68 standard deviations; this is in-between two
SE
and three standard deviations, so the probability is small, somewhere between .5% and 2.5% (why?).
Referring to the nearest Z table, the actual probability is = 0.369%, or less than every 100 years.
Tripling your money would be Z   200 – 16.4  / 31.2  5.88 standard deviations; this
corresponds to a probability of (much) less than 0.01%. (The actual answer is less than once every 1
million years, so don’t hold your breath.)

d. Before the fact, for most assets the risk premium will be positive; investors demand
compensation over and above the risk-free return to invest their money in the risky asset. After
the fact, the observed risk premium can be negative if the asset’s nominal return is unexpectedly
low, the risk-free return is unexpectedly high, or any combination of these two events.
