Using the CAPM theory, if the Volatility of a stock is twice as great as the market, the market return on stocks in general (using the S&P 500 as a proxy) is 12 %, and treasury bills are yielding 2%, what is the return that investors in that security can expect? C r = Rf + beta x (Km - Rf) where r is the expected (required) return rate on a security (based on how risky it is); Rf is the rate of a "risk-free" investment, i.e. cash; Km is the return rate of the appropriate asset class (Market Return) Beta measures the volatility of the security, relative to the asset class. 12% 16% 22% Capital Assets Pricing Model 20%
