- The standard deviation of returns of a particular stock is 43% and that of the market is 35%. The coefficient of correlation between the returns of the stock and that of the market is 0.25. The real risk-free rate is 2% and the expected inflation rate is 1.5%. What is the stock's contribution to risk (beta)? O 1.23 3.26 0.31 ○ 0.81 0.20You are using the CAPM to calculate a fair return for Stardust common stock. The shares have a volatility of 36.00%, while the market has a volatility of 19.00%. The correlation between the two sets of returns is 0.30. The risk free rate is 1.00%, while the expected return on the market is 3.90%. What is the fair return for Stardust common stock?The expected return for a stock, calculated using the CAPM is 13.5%. The risk free rate is 7.5% and the beta of the stock is 0.80. Calculate the implied return on the market.
- i) Calculate the expected return for each stock assuming the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is valid, and explain if they are correctly priced. Show your calculations.Stock A has a risk premium of 8.67 percent. If Treasury bills yield 2.3 percent, the required rate of return is 10.97 percent and the beta coefficient is 1.7. What is the market return?Consider the following information about two stocks (D and E) and two common risk factors (1 and 2) ba 1.6 2.1 Stock D E ba E(R.) 3.1 14.45% 2.1 13.90% a. Assuming that the risk-free rate is 5.5%, calculate the levels of the factor risk premia that are consistent with the reported values for the factor betas and the expected returns for the two stocks. Round your answers to one decimal place Axt Ax b. You expect that in one year the prices for Stocks D and I will be $51 and $39, respectively. Also, neither stock is expected to pay a dividend over the next year. What should the price of each stock be today to be consistent with the expected return levets listed at the beginning of the problem? Round your answers to the nearest cent. Today's price for Stock D: Today's price for Stock E: S Suppose now that the risk premium for Factor 1 that you calculated in Part a suddenly increases by 0.33% 0e, from x to (-0.35%, where is the value established in Part . What are the new expected returns…

Assuming that the risk free rate is 5%, determine the risk premium for factors 1 and 2 that are consistent with the expected returns for the two stocks. You expect that in one year the prices of Stock D and E will be $55 and $36 respectively and pay no dividends. What should be the price of each stock today to be consistent with the expected return levels. b. C. Determine how to you identified if Stock D and E are overvalued, fairly valued and undervalued? d. Suppose the risk premium for factor 1 as computed in (a) increases by 0.25 percent, what will be the new expected return for D and E? e. Suppose the risk premium for factor 1 as computed in (a) decreases by 0.25%, what will be the new expected return for D and E? f. Devise how would you develop a Jensen Index using Arbitrage Pricing…The expected return for a stock, calculated using the CAP M is 10.5%. The market free return is 9.5% and the beta of the stock is 1.50. Calculate the implied risk-free rate.Suppose the market risk premium is 9 % and also that the standard deviation of returns on the market portfolio is 0.26 . Further assume that the correlation between the returns on ABX (Barrick Gold) stock and returns on the market portfolio is 0.62 , while the standard deviation of returns on ABX stock is 0.36 . Finally assume that the risk-free rate is 2 %. Under the CAPM, what is the expected return on ABX stock? (write this number as a decimal and not as a percentage, e.g. 0.11 not 11%. Round your answer to three decimal places. For example 1.23450 or 1.23463 will be rounded to 1.235 while 1.23448 will be rounded to 1.234)
