The beta coefficient, bi, of a relatively safe stock. d. The expected rate of return on the market, rM. e. The beta coefficient of "the market," which is the same as the beta of an average stock.The table below contains the covariance matrix of stock returns and the market. Assume that the assumptions of CAPM hold. 1. Find the market risk. 2. Find the systematic risk of BlueChip.1. Risk free rate represents: a. The market rate of return b.

T-bill rate. b. market return less risk-free rate. c. beta. d. standard deviation. 3.

- 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;)1. Beta is positively related A. the degree of correlation between a stock's return and the market return B. the systematic risk of a stock C. risk premium required by the stock D. all of the aboveThe additional return over the risk-free rate needed to compensate investors for assuming an average amount of risk. a.

- Beta is which of the following: A) standard deviation. B) total risk. C) Beta is the relationship which is between an investment's return, and the market return. D) unsystematic risk.Questions C and D is required. Thank you.c) Assume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is found to be half of the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourth of the required return 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 pay returns of 15% with the standard deviation equal to 20%. Asset A pays on average 5%, has standard deviation equal to 20% and is NOT correlated with the S&P500. Asset B pays on average 8%, also has standard deviation equal to 20% and has correlation of 0.5 with the S&P500. Determine whether asset A and B are overvalued or undervalued, and explain why. (Hint: Beta of asset i ( , where are standard deviations of asset i and market portfolio, is the correlation between asset i and the market portfolio)a) The covariance between stocks A and B is 0.0014, standard deviation of stock A is 0.032, and standard deviation of stock B is 0.044. Which of the following is the most appropriate to depict the risk- return characteristics of a portfolio consisting of only stocks A and B, and explain why? E(R) E(R) E(R) A A A (A) (B) (C) b) found to be half of the required return (Rs) on stock B. The risk-free rate (R) is one-fourth of the required Assume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is return on A. Return on market portfolio is denoted by RM. Find the ratio of beta of A (DA) to beta of B (OB). c) Assume that the short-term risk-free rate is 3%, the market index S&P500 is expected to pay returns of 15% with the standard deviation equal to 20%.
