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 4% and ir 6%. a stock with a beta of 1 on ip and 0.4 on it currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 14%. if industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 4%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock
