Consider the two (excess return) index model regression results for A and B: RA = 0.8% + 1RM R-square = 0.588 Residual standard deviation = 10.8% RB = –1.2% + 0.7RM R-square = 0.452 Residual standard deviation = 9% a.

Consider the following information for Stocks A, B, and C. The returns on the three stocks, while positively correlated, are not perfectly correlated. The risk-free rate is 5.50%. Stock Expected Return Standard Deviation Beta A 7.60% 10% 0.6 B 9,70% 10% 1.2 11.80% 10% 1.8 Let ri be the expected return of stock i, FRE represent the risk-free rate, b represent the Beta of a stock, and rM represent the market return. Assume that the market is in equilibrium, with the required rate of returns equal to expected returns. According to the video, which equation most closely describes the relationship between required returns, beta, and the market risk premium? O ri = TRF + O rn = TRE +bx (rM + TRF) On = TRF - bx (rM – TRF) On = TRF + bx (rM - TRF) Hint: Recall that because the market is in equilibrium, the required rate of return is equal to the expected rate of return for each stock. Using the equation you just identified, you can solve for the market risk premium which, in this case, equals…

For diversified investors the relevant risk is measured by beta. Therefore, the stock with the higher beta is less risky. Stock Y has the higher beta so it is less risky than Stock X. II. For diversified investors the relevant risk is measured by beta. Therefore, the stock with the higher beta is riskler. Stock Y has the higher beta so it is riskier than Stock X. III. For diversified investors the relevant risk is measured by standard deviation of expected returns. Therefore, the stock with the higher standard deviation of…
