CAPM Suppose the risk-free rate is 8 percent. The expected return on the market is
14 percent. If a particular stock has a beta of .60, what is its expected return based
on the CAPM? If another stock has an expected return of 20 percent, what must its
beta be? (See Problem 13.)
What will happen to a stock’s risk premium if its beta doubles and the market risk premium doubles?
A. The risk premium will be unchanged.
B. The risk premium will decrease by a factor of 2.
C. The risk premium will increase by a factor of 4.
D. The risk premium will increase by a factor of 2.
1. A stock with a beta of zero would be expected to have a rate of return equal to
a. the risk-free rate
b. the market risk premium
c. zero
d. the market rate of return
2. If an individual stock's beta is higher than 1.0, that stock is:
a. riskier than the market.
b. always the most attractive to investors.
c. less risky than the market.
d. exactly as risky as the market.
3. If Brewer Corporation's bonds are currently yielding 8% in the marketplace, why is the firm's cost of debt lower?
