- Manipulating CAPM Use the basic equation for the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to work each of the following problems. a. Find the required return for an asset with a beta of 1.48 when the risk-free rate and market return are 8% and 13%, respectively. b. Find the risk-free rate for a firm with a required return of 14.684% and a beta of 1.47 when the market return is 12%. c. Find the market return for an asset with a required return of 12.040% and a beta of 0.95 when the risk-free rate is 5%. d. Find the beta for an asset with a required return of 13.312% when the risk-free rate and market return are 10% and 12.3%, respectively. C a. The required return for an asset with a beta of 1.48 when the risk-free rate and market return are 8% and 13%, respectively, is %. (Round to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardHi please solve this both partsarrow_forwardWhat is the expected return on asset A if the expected return on the market is 8%, the risk-free rate is 4%, and the Beta of asset A is 2? You want to use Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) Group of answer choices A) 12% B) 20% C) 16%arrow_forward
- What is the expected market return if the expected return on asset A is 19% and the risk free rate is 5%? Asset A has a beta of 1.4. Assume that the CAPM is correct. a. 5% b. 9% c. 13% d. 15% e. 19%arrow_forwardCalculate the required rate of return for an asset that has a beta of 1.01, given a risk-free rate of %3.4 and a market return of %9.1 . b. If investors have become more risk-averse due to recent geopolitical events, and the market return rises to %11.6, what is the required rate of return for the same asset? a. The required rate of return for the asset is enter your response here%. (Round to two decimal places.) Part 2 b. If investors have become more risk-averse due to recent geopolitical events, and the market return rises to 11.6%, the required rate of return for the same asset is enter your response here%. (Round to two decimal places.)arrow_forwarda. Calculate the required rate of return for an asset that has a beta of 1.19, given a risk-free rate of 2.7% and a market return of 8.9%. b. If investors have become more risk-averse due to recent geopolitical events, and the market return rises to 12.1%, what is the required rate of return for the same asset?arrow_forward
- Father Time asks us what is the expected return on asset A if it has a beta of .75, the expected market return is 12%, and the risk- free rate is 4%?

(could be done on word document or excel). Draw the security market line (SML) Use the CAPM to calculate the required return, on asset A. Assume that as a result of recent economic events, inflationary expectations have declined by 3%, lowering RF and RM to 5% and 9%, respectively. Draw the new SML on the axes in part a, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. Step 1 Security market line (SML) is a graphical representation of how the approach of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) operates. SML represents the combination of risk-free return, market return, and beta to depict the expected return of the security. CAPM is a financial approach that helps to determine the expected return of security by creating a relationship between the systematic risk associated with the security and returns of assets. Expected return on a stock is the…arrow_forward
- Question 2: Assume that the risk-free rate, RF, is currently 8%, the market return, RM, is 12%, and asset A has a beta, of 1.10. (could be done on word document or excel). Draw the security market line (SML) Use the CAPM to calculate the required return, on asset A. Assume that as a result of recent economic events, inflationary expectations have declined by 3%, lowering RF and RM to 5% and 9%, respectively. Draw the new SML on the axes in part a, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. Assume that as a result of recent events, investors have become more risk averse, causing the market return to rise by 2%, to be14%. Ignoring the shift in part c, draw the new SML on the same set of axes that you used before, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. From the previous changes, what conclusions can be drawn about the impact of (1) decreased inflationary expectations and (2) increased risk aversion on the required returns of risky assets?arrow_forwardRisk free ratearrow_forwardd) The return on the risk-free asset is 5%. You are given the following information: Security E(R) -% Firm A Firm B Firm C 10 14 16 Market portfolio 12 SD-% 31 ? 65 20 Correlation with Market portfolio ? .50 .35 1 Beta .85 1.40 ? 1 i) What is the correlation between security A and the market portfolio? ii) What is the standard deviation of security B? iii) What is the beta of security C? Give an interpretation of its value? iv) Is the stock of Firm A correctly priced according to the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)? What about the stock of Firm C? If these securities are not correctly priced, what is your investment recommendation for someone with a well-diversified portfolio?arrow_forward
