Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion the expected return on stock A is 11.35%. the expected return on stock B is 8.7%. assuming CAPM holds, if the beta of stock A is higher than the beta of stock B by 0.17, what should the risk premium be?
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 8% 55% B 4% 45% Correlation = −1 Required: a. Calculate the expected rate of return on this risk-free portfolio? (Hint: Can a particular stock portfolio be formed to create a “synthetic” risk-free asset?) (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Could the equilibrium rƒ be greater than rate of return?
You are facing three stock investment alternatives, Stock A, Stock B and Stock C.
