Compute the abnormal rates of return for the following stocks during period t (ignore differential systematic risk):
S tock R it R m t
B 11.5% 4.0% Abnormal return = Actual return - normal return = 11.5% - 4.0% = 6.5%
F 10.0 8.5 Abnormal return = Actual return - normal return = 10.0% - 8.5% = 1.5%
T 14.0 9.6 Abnormal return = Actual return - normal return = 14.0% - 9.6% = 4.4%
C 12.0 15.3 Abnormal return = Actual return - normal return = 12.0% - 15.3% = - 3.3%
E 15.9 12.4 Abnormal return = Actual return - normal return = 15.9% - 12.4% = 3.5%
