Introduction:
Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) describes the relationship between the projected return for assets and systematic risk on the stocks. It is utilized to compute the required
Expected return refers to a return that the investors expect on a risky investment in the future.
Beta is an important indicator of the risk of a security. It measures the systematic risk of a risky investment by comparing the risky investment with the average risky asset in the market.

Suppose Autodesk stock has a beta of 2.16, whereas Costco stock has a beta of 0.69. If the risk-free interest rate is 4% and the expected return of the market portfolio is 10%, what is the expected return of a portfolio that consists of 60% Autodesk stock and 40% Costco stock, according to the CAPM?
Suppose Autodesk stock has a beta of 2.17, whereas Costco stock has a beta of 0.71. If the risk-free interest rate is 6% and the expected return of the market portfolio is 11.5%, what is the expected return of a portfolio that consists of 65% Autodesk stock and 35% Costco stock, according to the CAPM?
The risk-free rate is 5.6%, the market risk premium is 8.5%, and the stock’s beta is 2.27. What is the required rate of return on the stock, E(Ri)?
Use the CAPM equation.
