Matt's Widget Co. is suing Elon Mining Co. Today, the jury
announced the outcome of the trial. There was also important
news about the economy: we learned the GDP growth rate was 2.7%,
instead of the expected 2.0%. You know that Matt's Widget Co.
has a CAPM beta of 1.1, the market return today was 4.4%, and the
daily risk-free rate is 0.5%. There was no other news today
and Matt's Widget Co. had a stock return of 2% today.
By how much did the jury announcement change Matt's stock return
today? Hint: this question asks you to use an event
study. Calculate the expected return today (assuming no
firm-specific news) using the CAPM. Then compare the actual
return to the CAPM expected return: the difference is due to the
lawsuit announcement. Enter your answer in % form without the
% symbol (i.e., if your answer is 3.5%, type 3.5).
