In the CAPM world, if Sharpe ratio of the market portfolio is 1.25 and the correlation coefficient between stock i and the market portfolio is 0.60, what is the stock i's Sharpe ratio? → (1) 0.25; (2) 0.45; (3) 0.50; (4) 0.75; (5) 0.80; (6) 1.00; (7) 1.25; 8 (8) 1.50; (9) 1.75; (10) 2.05;
Assume you have an optimal risky portfolio with an expected return of 17% and a standard deviation of 27%, if the current risk free rate is 5% what is the optimal percentage to invest in ORP (y*)? Please write all percentages as decimals (for example write .242 instead of 24.2%). Use a risk aversion measure (A) of 2. Note: Correct answer is 0.8230 Please explain?
Assume that both portfolios A and B are well diversified, that E(rA) = 21%, and E(rB) = 16%. If the economy has only one factor, and βA = 1.4, whereas βB = 1.0, what must be the risk-free rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
The current appropriate risk-free rate is 6% and the return on the market is 13.5%.Further assume that you calculated the levered beta above as 1.29. Using the CAPM, estimate DUC’s cost of equity. Be sure to state any additional assumptions.
answer must be correct
The risk-free rate is 5.6%, the market risk premium is 8.5%, and the stock’s beta is 2.27. What is the required rate of return on the stock, E(Ri)? Use the CAPM equation.
Given the following excess return index model regression results Ra*= -0.059616 + 0.957478Rm* where; \sigma M = 0.80226720, the return on the market portfolio is 0.085306, and the risk-free rate is 0.018302. Note Ra* and Rm* are excess returns. Calculate the actual return for Stock A. Round to 4 decimals, and present answer as a decimal (.08, not 8%) Answer: 0.0228
Suppose the CAPM is true. Consider two assets, X and Y, and the market M. Suppose cov(X,M) = .3, cov(Y,M) = .5. %3D (a) Is the expected return higher on X or Y? (b) Suppose var(M) = 1.5, what are the betas of X and Y? (c) Suppose the expected market return is 20% and the risk free rate is 5%, what is the expected returns of X and Y?. (d) Given your analysis in (a)-(c), what type of investor would prefer asset X to asset Y?
Assume the CAPM holds and consider stock X, which has a return variance of 0.09 and a correlation of 0.75 with the market portfolio. The market portfolio's Sharpe ratio is 0.30 and the the risk-free rate is 5%. (a) What is Stock X's expected return? (b) What proportion of Stock X's return volatility (i.e. standard deviation) is priced by the market? Explain why this number is less than 1.
Assume that you run a regression on the raw returns of the stock of Company J against the raw returns of the market and find an intercept of 1.324 percent and a beta of 2.36. If the risk-free rate is 2.64 percent, and using the concept of Jensen's Alpha, then determine by how much this stock beat the market. Answer in decimal format. For example, if you answer is 3.33%, enter "0.0333"
Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results: RA = 2.60% + 0.90RM + eA RB = -2.00% + 1.20RM + eB OM = 26%; R-squarea = 0.21; R-squareg = 0.12 Assume you create portfolio P with investment proportions of 0.70 in A and 0.30 in B.
Suppose that many stocks are traded in the market and that it is possible to borrow at the risk-free rate, rƒ. The characteristics of two of the stocks are as follows: Stock Expected Return Standard Deviation A 11 % 35 % B 20 % 65 % Correlation = –1 a. Calculate the expected rate of return on this risk-free portfolio? (Hint: Can a particular stock portfolio be substituted for the risk-free asset?) (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Could the equilibrium rƒ be greater than 14.15%?multiple choice Yes No
