b. For CAPM, what is the explanatory variable? Is it statistically significant?

c. For Fama-French what are the explanatory variables? Which ones are significant?

d. Use the Carhart model to answer the following question: Suppose that the current risk free rate is 1%, Market Factor is 5.5%, SMB is -2.53%, HML is -0.67%, and UMD is 3%. What is the expected return for this stock?
