13. Changes to the security market line The following graph plots the current security market line (SML) and indicates the return that investors require from holding stock from Happy Corp. (HC). Based on the graph, complete the table that follows. REQUIRED RATE OF RETURN (Percent) REQUIRED RATE OF RETURN (Percent) 20.0 16.0 20 12.0 16 8.0 12 4.0 0 0 CAPM Elements Risk-free rate (TRF) Market risk premium (RPM) Happy Corp. stock's betal Required rate of return on Happy Corp. stock 0 Happy Corp.'s new required rate of return is F 0.6, 7.6 HC's Stock ☐ 0.5 An analyst believes that inflation is going to increase by 2.0% over the next year, while the market risk premium will be unchanged. The analyst uses the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The following graph plots the current SML. Calculate Happy Corp.'s new required return. Then, on the graph, use the green points (rectangle symbols) to plot the new SML suggested by this analyst's prediction. 0 1.0 RISK (Beta) Tool tip: Mouse over the points in the graph to see their coordinates. 0.4 0.8 1.5 1.2 Value RISK (Beta) 1.6 2.0 2.0 (?) O All stocks affected the same, regardless of beta O High-beta stocks O Low-beta stocks O Medium-beta stocks New SML (?) The SML helps determine the level of risk aversion among investors. The higher the level of risk aversion, the the slope of the SML. Which kind of stock is most affected by changes in risk aversion? (In other words, which stocks see the biggest change in their required returns?)

Market risk premium

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) says that the risk premium on a stock is equal to its beta times the market risk premium. ..... True False

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. (Hint: Beta of asset i (??) =???????, where ??,?? are standard deviations of asset i and marketportfolio, ??? is the correlation between asset i and the market portfolio)Question 2.
