An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%. If ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = 20.4, and di = 1.3, what is the stock’s predicted return?
Calculate the correlation coefficient between Blandy and the market. Use this and the previously calculated (or given) standard deviations of Blandy and the market to estimate Blandy’s beta. Does Blandy contribute more or less risk to a well-diversified portfolio than does the average stock? Use the SML to estimate Blandy’s required return.
Suppose the market risk premium is 9 % and also that the standard deviation of returns on the market portfolio is 0.26 . Further assume that the correlation between the returns on ABX (Barrick Gold) stock and returns on the market portfolio is 0.62 , while the standard deviation of returns on ABX stock is 0.36 . Finally assume that the risk-free rate is 2 %. Under the CAPM, what is the expected return on ABX stock? (write this number as a decimal and not as a percentage, e.g. 0.11 not 11%. Round your answer to three decimal places. For example 1.23450 or 1.23463 will be rounded to 1.235 while 1.23448 will be rounded to 1.234)
Suppose Stock A has B = 1 and an expected return of 11%. Stock B has a B = 1.5. The risk- free rate is 5%. Also consider that the covariance between B and the market is 0.135. Assume the CAPM is true. Answer the following questions: a) Calculate the expected return on share B. b) Find the equation of the Capital Market Line (CML). c) Build a portfolio Q with B = 0 using actions A and B. Indicate weights (interpret your result) and expected return of portfolio Q.
The expected return on the Market Portfolio M is E(RM)=15%, the standard deviation is sM=25% and the risk-free rate is Rf=5%. a. Suppose that stock X has standard deviation sX=30%, and correlation with the market portfolio rXM=0.5. Compute bX and E(RX) (the beta and the expected return of stock X) according to the Market Model (ie: alpha equals zero under the Market Model). b. Suppose that stock Y has standard deviation sy=15%, and correlation with the market portfolio rYM=-0.1. Compute bY and E(RY) (the beta and the expected return of stock Y) according to the Market Model (ie: alpha equals zero under the Market Model). c. Compute the beta of a portfolio composed 65% of stock X and 35% of stock Y.
Suppose the risk-free return is 2% and the market portfolio has an expected return of 12% and a volatility of 16%. Merck & Co. (Ticker: MRK) stock has a 25% volatility and a correlation with the market of 0.8. What is Merck’s beta with respect to the market? Under the CAPM assumptions, what is its expected return?
Suppose the risk free rate is 2, 32%, the expected return of the market portfolio is 5, 64% and the beta of stock X-Bros S. A. is 1. 10. What is the expected cost of equity of X-Bros S. A. (in percent)?
Suppose the market portfolio has an expected return of 9% and a volatility of 18.5%. YMH stock return has a 22% volatility and a correlation with the market return of 0.74. If the risk-free rate is 1% and the CAPM holds, what is the Sharpe ratio of the YMH stock? O 0.32 0.384 O 0.2944 O 0.3648
How do you find the market risk premium and market expected return given the expected return of stock, beta, and risk free rate? Example: The expected return of a stock with a beta of 1.2 is 16.2%. Calculate the market risk premium and the market expected return, given a risk-free rate of 3%.
Assume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is foundto be half of the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourth of the requiredreturn on A. Return on market portfolio is denoted by RM. Find the ratio of beta of A (A) to beta of B(B). d) Assume that the short-term risk-free rate is 3%, the market index S&P500 is expected to payreturns of 15% with the standard deviation equal to 20%. Asset A pays on average 5%, has standarddeviation equal to 20% and is NOT correlated with the S&P500. Asset B pays on average 8%, also hasstandard deviation equal to 20% and has correlation of 0.5 with the S&P500. Determine whetherasset A and B are overvalued or undervalued, and explain why.

2. Suppose that the market model for stocks A and B is estimated with the following results: RA = 1% +0.9*RM+EA RB = -2% + 1.1*RM+EB The standard deviation of the markets returns is 20% and firm specific risk (standard deviation) equals 30% for A and 10% for B. a. Compute the risk (standard deviation) of each stock and the covariance between them. Suppose we form an equally weighted portfolio of stocks A and B. What will be the nonsystematic standard deviation of that portfolio? b.
