- A stock’s returns have the following distribution:Assume the risk-free rate is 2%. Calculate the stock’s expected return, standard deviation,coefficient of variation, and Sharpe ratio.The index model has been estimated for stock A with the following results: RA = 0.01 + 1.2RM + eA. σM = 0.15; σ(eA) = 0.10. The standard deviation of the return for stock A isAssume that the CAPM holds. One stock has an expected return of 10% and a beta of 0.6. Another stock has an expected return of 11% and a beta of 1.5. What is the expected return on the market?
- Suppose the beta estimated from the CAPM for stock A is 2.3 and stock B is 1.1. What is the beta of an equally weighted stock portoflio of A and B stock?The index model has been estimated for stocks A and B with the following results: RA = 0.12 + 0.610RM + eA RB = 0.04 + 1.416RM + eB σM = 0.270 σ(eA) = 0.20 σ(eB) = 0.10 What is the covariance between each stock and the market index?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%.
- A stock's risk premium is equal to the: expected market risk premium times beta. expected market risk premium multiplied by beta plus the risk-free return. Risk-free return plus expected market return. expected market return times beta.Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results:RA = 3% + .7RM + eARB = −2% + 1.2RM + eBσM = 20%; R-squareA = .20; R-squareB = .12What is the covariance between each stock and the market index?A stock has a market beta of 0.62 and a standard deviation of 0.27. If the market standard deviation is 0.30, what is thecovariance between the stock return and the market return?
- The risk-free rate is 5.6%, the market risk premium is 8.5%, and the stock’s beta is 2.27. What is the required rate of return on the stock, E(Ri)? Use the CAPM equation.a. Determine Stock X's beta coefficient. b. Determine the arithmetic average rates of return for Stock X and the NYSE over the period given. Calculate the standard deviations of returns for both Stock X and the NYSE. c. Assume that the required return on equity, re, for Stock X is equal to its average return. Likewise, assume that the market return is equal to the NYSE's average return. Using the information calculated, what is the assumed risk-free rate in the CAPM equation? Hint: Solve algebraically for rf in, re = r¡ + B(rm – r;)The probability distribution of returns for the two stocks X and Y are as follows: Probability 0.1 0.3 0.05 0.25 0.15 0.15 For each of the two stocks, calculate: a. The expected return. b. Variance of returns c. Volatility of returns. Stock X 0.05 -0.1 0.08 -0.08 0.20 0.12 Return Stock Y 0.13 0,04 -0.12 0.21 0.1 -0.05
