Assuming that the risk-free rate is 5.5%, calculate the levels of the factor risk premia that are consistent with the reported values for the factor betas and the expected returns for the two stocks. Round your answers to one decimal place Axt Ax b. You expect that in one year the prices for Stocks D and I will be $51 and $39, respectively. Also, neither stock is expected to pay a dividend over the next year. What should the price of each stock be today to be consistent with the expected return levets listed at the beginning of the problem? Round your answers to the nearest cent. Today's price for Stock D: Today's price for Stock E: S Suppose now that the risk premium for Factor 1 that you calculated in Part a suddenly increases by 0.33% 0e, from x to (-0.35%, where is the value established in Part .
