Concept explainers
A
To Determine: To find out the stock that has higher firm-specific risk.
Introduction: Security Characteristic Line exhibits the relation between the individual stock in consideration or the portfolio constructed, with the benchmark index.
B
To Determine: To find out the stock that has greater Systematic or Market risk.
Introduction: Also called as Undiversifiable risk or Market risk or Volatility, Systematic risk affects the overall market, but not just considers particular stock.
C
To Determine: To find out the stock that has higher R2.
Introduction: R2 is one of the statistical measures that identify the relationship between the total variance and the Explained Variance of a particular stock or a portfolio.
D
To Determine: To find out the stock that has higher Alpha.
Introduction: Alpha denotes that part of return, when the market stands unbiased. It means the return that is left over, when the excess return of the market is ‘zero’.
E
To Determine: To find out the stock that has higher correlation with the market.
Introduction: Correlation is one of the statistical measures that contrast the relation between two stocks, or a stock with the market index.

What are some of the factors that can lead to differences in the beta that is calculated using a regression?arrow_forwardWhich of the following stocks have the highest systematic risk? A. A stock with a high correlation to the market and a low return volatility. B. A stock with a low correlation to the market and a high return volatility. C. A stock with a high correlation to the market and high return volatility. D. A stock with a low correlation to the market and a low return volatility.arrow_forward
- Using the data in the following table,, estimate the: a. Average return and volatility for each stock. b. Covariance between the stocks. c. Correlation between these two stocks.arrow_forwardExercises: a. The standard deviation of returns is 0.30 for Stock A and 0.20 for Stock B. The covariance between the returns of A and B is 0.006. The correlation of returns between A and B is: b. Explain the differences between systemic risk and unsystematic risk, give additional examples c. Compare and contrast the Capital Market Line and Security Market Line d. The covariance of the market's returns with the stock's returns is 0.008. The standard deviation of the market's returns is 0.08, and the standard deviation of the stock's returns is 0. 11. What is the correlation coefficient of the returns of the stock and the returns of the market? e. According to the CAPM, what is the required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 0.7, when the risk-free rate is 7% and the expected market rate of return is 14%arrow_forwardConsider information given in the table below and answers the question asked thereafter: State Probability return on stock A Return on stock B A 0.15 10% 9% B 0.15 6% 15% C 0.10 20% 10% D 0.18 5% -8% E 0.12 -10% 20% F 0.30 8% 5% Calculate covariance and coefficient of correlation between the returns of thestocks A and B.v. Now suppose you have $100,000 to invest and you want to a hold a portfoliocomprising of $45,000 invested in stock A and remaining amount in stock B.Calculate risk and return of your portfolio.arrow_forward
- The slope of a regression line when the return on an individual stock's returns are regressed on the return on the market portfolio, would be: OAR BR-₁ B OC none of the answers listed here. ODO imarrow_forwardA stock's standard deviation determines how the stock affects the riskiness of a diversified portfolio; therefore, it is a better measure of a stock's relevant risk than is the beta-coefficient, which measures total, or stand-alone, risk.Choices:a. TRUEb. FALSEarrow_forwardWhen we test CAPM using historical data, a classic test is to regress excess returns of stocks onto the stock betas, using the following regression specification across stocks: - Rp Rf =α+By+ε where Rup - Rf is the average excess return of a security or portfolio, ẞ is the estimated beta of the security or portfolio, & is the regression residual, and a (Alpha) and y (Gamma) are regression coefficients. Based on the regression, which of the following statements are true if CAPM is true? Select all two correct statements. The Alpha is zero The Alpha is positive The Gamma is positive The Gamma is zeroarrow_forward
