Problem 8 A) What is the expected return of stock A that when a recession happens (45% probability) its return is 6% and when a boom happens (55% probability) its return is 25% ? B) What is the expected return of stock B that when a recession happens (45% probability) its return is 1% and when a boom happens (55% * probability) its return is 43% ? Problem 9 Taking the same info from the problem above calculate the variance and standard deviation of Stock A and Stock B Problem 10 Define systematic risk and unsystematic risk and give examples of each.
Risk and return
Before understanding the concept of Risk and Return in Financial Management, understanding the two-concept Risk and return individually is necessary.
Capital Asset Pricing Model
Capital asset pricing model, also known as CAPM, shows the relationship between the expected return of the investment and the market at risk. This concept is basically used particularly in the case of stocks or shares. It is also used across finance for pricing assets that have higher risk identity and for evaluating the expected returns for the assets given the risk of those assets and also the cost of capital.
