2- Assume that the market has an expected return of 12% and volatility (standard deviation) of 20%. Company X has a 50% volatility (standard deviation). The correlation between the market and Company X is 90%. The risk-free rate is 3%. What would be the expected return on Company X? (Hint: You have to check my lecture note (Lecture Note #10b - Risk and Return: Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)) 23% O 23,25% O 23,50% O 23,75%

QUESTION Assume that the expected rates of return and the beta coefficients of the alternatives supplied by an independent analyst are as follows:   Security                   Estimated rate of returns               Beta Nescom 5% 1.5 Market 4 1 Pk_Steel 3.5 0.75 T_Bills 3 0 Nawab 1 -0.6   What is a beta coefficient, and how are betas used in risk analysis? Do the expected returns appear to be related to each alternative’s market risk? Is it possible to choose among the alternatives on the basis of the information developed thus far?

If the beta of Asset A is 2.2, the risk free rate is 2.5%, and the expected return on Asset A is 8%, what is the expected return on the market (Note: you want to use CAPM)? Group of answer choices 7.28% 5.00% 8.00% 16.80%

In an economy where the Capital Asset Pricing Model(CAPM) holds, the riskfree interest rate is 1%. The expected return of the market portfolio is 16% and its standard deviation is 20%. Suppose there is a portfolio with expected return of 25%. What should be its standard deviation? Select one: a.31.25% b.30% c.32% d. Insufficient information to determine the answer.

Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return Peat Company 1.70 13.60 Re - Peat Company 0.85 10.80 Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the expected return on the market? What is the risk - free rate?

Suppose the market risk premium is 6.7% and the​ risk-free interest rate is 4.9%. Calculate the cost of capital of investing in a project with a beta of 1.3.       Question content area bottom Part 1 The cost of capital is enter your response here​%. ​(Round to two decimal​ places.)

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.)

Total investment risk can be broken down into two types of risk. What are these two types of risk and which should NOT affect expected return? (b) A firm has a beta of 1.3. The expected market return is 12% and the risk-free rate is 2%. What should be the firm's equity cost of capital? Use CAPM

What 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%
