Suppose two factors are identified for the U. S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 6% and IR 7%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.7 on IT currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 15%. If industrial production actually grows by 7%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 9%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock?
