You are analyzing a stock that has a beta of 1.19. The risk-free rate is 4.4% and you estimate the market risk premium to be 6.6%. If you expect the stock to have a return of 9.8% over the next year, should you buy it? Why or why not? The expected return according to the CAPM is%. (Round to two decimal places.) Should you buy the stock? (Select the best choice below.) O A. Yes, because the expected return based on the beta is equal to or less than the return on the stock. O B. No, because the expected return based on the beta is greater than the return on the stock.

You are given the following partial covariance and correlation tables from historical data: Securities J K Market Securities J K Market 1.24 1.11 1.17 1.03 Covariance Matrix K 0.90 J 0.0020480 0.0021600 Also, you have estimated that the market's standard deviation is 4.3 percent. For the coming year, the expected return on the market is 14.0 percent and the risk-free rate is expected to be 4.0 percent. Given this information, determine the beta for Security K for the coming year, assuming CAPM is the correct model for required returns.

Assume that the risk-free rate is 7.5% and the required return on the market is 9%. What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 3? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Assume that the risk-free rate is 6.5% and the market risk premium is 8%. What is the required return for the overall stock market? Round your answer to one decimal place.   % What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 0.6? Round your answer to one decimal place.   %

Currently the risk-free rate equals 5% and the expected return on the market portfolio equals 11%. An investment analyst provides you with the following information: Stock A  Beta 1.33   Expected Return 12% Stock B  Beta 0.7   Expected Return 10% (a) Calculate the reward-to-risk ratios of stock A, stock B and in market equilibrium. Are stock A and stock B overvalued, undervalued or fairly valued? Briefly explain. [within 150 words] (b) You want a portfolio with the same risk as the market. Calculate the weights of stock A and B respectively. (please show me steps and round the final answer to 2 decimal places, thanks)

Stocks A and B have the following probability distributions of expected future returns: Probability     A     B 0.1 (7 %) (26 %) 0.1 3   0   0.5 14   22   0.2 20   26   0.1 36   50   Calculate the expected rate of return, , for Stock B ( = 14.20%.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.   % Calculate the standard deviation of expected returns, σA, for Stock A (σB = 18.68%.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.   % Now calculate the coefficient of variation for Stock B. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.   Is it possible that most investors might regard Stock B as being less risky than Stock A?   If Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a higher beta than Stock A, and hence be more risky in a portfolio sense. If Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a higher…

A stock's beta is 1.5 and the market risk premium is 5.6%.  If the risk-free rate is 2.9%, what is the stock's required return according to CAPM?  Answer as a percent and round to 2 decimal places. Answer:

Assume that the risk-free rate is 2.5% and the required return on the market is 12%. What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 2? Round your answer to two decimal places.
