Given the following information, determine the beta coefficient for Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium:  = 10.5%; rRF = 3.5%; rM = 11.5%

The stock market can have three potential returns with the following probabilities. Note "otherwise" is whatever probability it takes for all three probabilities to sum to one. So, if the first two probabilities are each .30, then "otherwise" represents a probability of .40. Probability Return -0.04 0.24 0.38 otherwise 0.00 0.18 What is the stock market's standard deviation? Enter your answer in decimal form, and show 4 decimal places.

You run a regression for the Tesla stock return on a market index to estimate the SML equation and find the following Excel output: Multiple R R-Square Adjusted R-Square Standard Error Observations Intercept Market = 0.28 0.25 0.02 40.01 60 13.35 and 0.97 0.8 and 0.1 0.28 and 0.25 0.26 and 1.36 0.2 and 0.75 Coefficients Standard Error t-Stat p-Value 0.2 0.75 The resulting SML equation for Laternios is given by: Er Laternios] 13.35 0.26 0.80 0.97 1.36 0.10 + __ × (E[rM] - rf)

The index model has been estimated from the excess returns for stock A with the following results: = RA 12.00% +1.55RM+ eA °M = 24.00% σ(eд) = 18.50% What is the standard deviation of the return for stock A? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Standard deviation %

Stock X has a 10.0% expected return, a beta coefficient of 0.9, and a 30% standard deviation of expected returns. Stock Y has a 12.5% expected return, a beta coefficient of 1.2, and a 25% standard deviation. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 5%. a. Calculate each stock's coefficient of variation. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. CVx= CVy= 2

2. Suppose that the market model for stocks A and B is estimated with the following results: RA = 1% +0.9*RM+EA RB = -2% + 1.1*RM+EB The standard deviation of the markets returns is 20% and firm specific risk (standard deviation) equals 30% for A and 10% for B. a. Compute the risk (standard deviation) of each stock and the covariance between them. Suppose we form an equally weighted portfolio of stocks A and B. What will be the nonsystematic standard deviation of that portfolio? b.
