- How do you find the market risk premium and market expected return given the expected return of stock, beta, and risk free rate? Example: The expected return of a stock with a beta of 1.2 is 16.2%. Calculate the market risk premium and the market expected return, given a risk-free rate of 3%.1The security market line (SML) is an equation that shows the relationship between risk as measured by beta and the required rates of return on individual securities. The SML equation is given below: Required return on Stock = Risk-free return + (Market risk premium) (Stock's beta) If a stock's expected return plots on or above the SML, then the stock's return is sufficient ✓to compensate the investor for risk. If a stock's expected return plots below the SML, the stock's return is insufficient to compensate the investor for risk. The SML line can change due to expected inflation and risk aversion. If inflation changes, then the SML plotted on a graph will shift up or down parallel to the old SML. If risk aversion changes, then the SML plotted on a graph will rotate up or down becoming more or less steep if investors become more or less risk averse. A firm can influence market risk (hence its beta coefficient) through changes in the composition of its assets and through changes in the…
- What should be the risk premium and return on a stock with a Beta of zerounder the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)? What about the risk premiumand return on a stock with a Beta of 1?Stock M has a relevant risk equals 1.75, and unsystematic risk equals 2. If the real risk-free rate of interest equals 3 percent, inflation premium equals 2 percent, expected market return equals 11 percent, and the required rate of return on a portfolio consisting of all stocks, which is the market portfolio equals 11 percent, what is Stock M's required rate of return? Interpret your answer.Assume the following data for a stock: Risk - free rate market) == 1.5; beta (size) = 0.3; beta (book-to-market) = 5 percent; beta ( = - 1.1; market risk premium 1 7 percent; size risk premium 3.7 percent; and book - to - market risk premium = 5.2 percent. Calculate the expected return on the stock using the Fama - French three-factor model.
- b) You are given the following information about Stock X and the market: The annual effective risk-frec rate is 5%. The expected return and volatility for Stock X and the market are shown in the table below: Expected Return Volatility Stock X 5% 40% Market 8% 25% The correlation between the returns of stock X and the market is -0.25. Assume the Capital Asset Pricing Model holds. Calculate the required return for Stock X and determine if the investor should invest in Stock X.Suppose Stock A has B = 1 and an expected return of 11%. Stock B has a B = 1.5. The risk- free rate is 5%. Also consider that the covariance between B and the market is 0.135. Assume the CAPM is true. Answer the following questions: a) Calculate the expected return on share B. b) Find the equation of the Capital Market Line (CML). c) Build a portfolio Q with B = 0 using actions A and B. Indicate weights (interpret your result) and expected return of portfolio Q.Assume an economy in which there are three securities: Stock A with rA = 10% and σA = 10%; Stock B with rB = 15% and σB = 20%; and a riskless asset with rRF = 7%. Stocks A and B are uncorrelated (rAB = 0). Which of the following statements is most CORRECT? 1. b. The expected return on the investor’s portfolio will probably have an expected return that is somewhat below 10% and a standard deviation (SD) of approximately 10%. 2. d. The investor’s risk/return indifference curve will be tangent to the CML at a point where the expected return is in the range of 7% to 10%. 3. e. Since the two stocks have a zero correlation coefficient, the investor can form a riskless portfolio whose expected return is in the range of 10% to 15%. 4. a. The expected return on the investor’s portfolio will probably have an expected return that is somewhat above 15% and a standard deviation (SD) of approximately 20%. 5.…
- Please show working Please answer ALL OF QUESTIONS 1 AND 2 1. Assume that the risk-free rate is 3.5% and the market risk premium is 8%. a. What is the required return for the overall stock market? Round your answer to two decimal places. __________ % b. What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 2.4? Round your answer to two decimal places. __________ % 2. An individual has $50,000 invested in a stock with a beta of 0.8 and another $55,000 invested in a stock with a beta of 2.0. If these are the only two investments in her portfolio, what is her portfolio's beta? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places._______Assume you have invested in two other stocks: Stock A has a beta of 1.20 and Stock B has a beta of 0.8. Rf= 2% and Rm = 12%. (i) Using CAPM, what are the expected returns for each stock? Return of stock = Risk free rate + beta ( market rate of return - risk free rate of return) Return of Stock A = 2% + 1.20 (12% - 2%) = 2.12% Return of Stock B = 2% + 0.80 (12% - 2%) = 2.08% (ii) What is the expected return of an equally weighted portfolio of these two stocks? Weight of stock A = 0.50 Weight of Stock B = 0.50 Expected return = (Return of Stock A * weight of Stock A) + (Return of Stock B * weight of stock B) = (2.12 * 0.50) + (2.08*0.50) = 1.06 + 1.04 = 3% (iii) What is the beta of an equally weighted portfolio of these two stocks? Beta of portfolio = (Beta of Stock A * weight of stock A) + (Beta of Stock B * weight of Stock B) = (1.20*0.50) + (0.80*0.50) = 0.60 + 0.40 = 1 Beta of portfolio = 1 (iv) Sketchthe SML to…Consider the following stocks with equal probabilities of return: Outcome | Return (Stock A) | Return (Stock B) 1 -5% 2% 2 10% 12% 3 18% 15% Compute the expected returns of stock A and B. Compute the total risk and relative risk of stock A and B. Which stock is risky? Ignoring the probabilities, what is the total risk and relative risk of stock A and B? Which stock is risky? Round-off final answers only to two decimal places.
