- a) Suppose the risk-free rate is `X'% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10%. In your view, the expected rate of return of a security is 12.2%. Given that this security has a beta of 1.4, do you consider it to be overpriced, under-priced or fairly priced according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model? Please provide the details of your calculations and discuss your results. b) Using a graph, explain when a security is overpriced, under-priced or fairly priced according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Plot your answer from (a) onto this graph.arrow_forwarda) Suppose the risk-free rate is 1% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10%.

Please provide the details of your calculations and discuss your resultsarrow_forwardSuppose the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is valid in a market. Use CAPM to ex- plain and answer following questions. Note: There is no relationship between each situation. (a) Can security A exist in the market? (Hint: Security market line) If yes, compute risk premium on security A. If not, is this security underpriced or overpriced? Expected return 5% Asset Beta Risk-free Market 12% 1 A 15% 1.3 (b) Can security B exist in the market? (Hint: Security market line) If yes, compute risk premium on security B. If not, is this security underpriced or overpriced? Expected return 6% Asset Beta Risk-free Market 13% 16.5% 1 1.5 Suppose the expected cash flow can be collected from investment in security B is $1000 at time 1. And an investor thinks the beta of security B is 1.8. But the actual beta is given in the above table. Then how much more/less (you also need to select "more" or "less") will he offer for the firm than it is truly worth at time 0? Hint: the present value of the cash…arrow_forward

The risk-free rate is 0.05 and the market expected rate of return is 0.09. Show whether this security is underpriced, fairly priced or overpriced. 1. The returns on share A follow the market model with coefficients aa = 0.01, Ba = 1.25. If at time t, K MT = 0.02 and the actual return on share A is 0.025, calculate EAt (the error term). 2. 3. An investor invests 30 percent of his wealth in a risky asset with an expected rate of return of 0.15 and a variance of 0.04 and 70 percent in a risk-free asset with a return of 0.06. Calculate the portfolio's expected return. 4.
