Question
Using the Grinold-Kroner model, the estimated ERP for Yukon is closest to:
Answer Choices:
A. 2.65%
B. 3.15%
C. 7.65%
Explanation
i = 2.50% (long-term estimate after central bank's action)
G = 2.50% (real GDP growth rate)
ΔP/E = 1.20%
DY = 0.60%
ΔS = 1.35%
Rf = 5.50% (LT government rate)
ERP = [DY + i + G + ΔP/E + ΔS] – Rf = [0.60 + 2.50 + 2.50 + 1.20 + 1.35] – 5.50 = 2.65%.
