- A security with a beta of 1.0 earned a return of 15% last year when the market portfolio earned a return of only 9%. Begin your answer with Consistent or Inconsistent followed by your explanation.arrow_forwardA stock analyst at PJ Brokers estimates that the beta of stock ZLX is close to two (2.0). Therefore, ZLX will have an expected return that is: A) about equal to the risk-free rate B) about equal to the market expected return C) expected to exceed the market expected returnarrow_forwardIf the risk free rate is 4.4%, the expected return on the market portfolio (i.e., Rm)( is 11.6%, and the beta of Stock B is 0.9 , what is the required rate of return for Stock B according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)? (Round your answer rounded to one decimal place and record without a percent sign). Your Answer: If the risk free rate is 1.2%, the market risk premium (i.e., Rm - Rf) is 13.5%, and the beta of Stock B is 1.9 , what is the required rate of return for Stock B according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)? (Round your answer rounded to one decimal place and record without a percent sign). Your Answer:arrow_forward
- Suppose that the market portfolio is equally likely to increase by 24% or decrease by 8%. Security "X" goes up on average by 29% when the market goes up and goes down by 11% when the market goes down. Security "Y" goes down on average by 16% when the market goes up and goes up by 16% when the market goes down. Security "Z" goes up on average by 4% when the market goes up and goes up by 4% when the market goes down. The expected return on security with a beta of 1.2 is closest to: 4.8% 8.0% 8.8% 9.6%arrow_forwardrisk-free rate have to be if they are correctly priced? (See Problems 19 and 20.) 11.4 CAPM Suppose the risk-free rate is 8 percent. The expected return on the market is 14 percent. If a particular stock has a beta of .60, what is its expected return based on the CAPM? If another stock has an expected return of 20 percent, what must its beta be? (See Problem 13.)arrow_forwardAccording to the CAPM, what is the expected return on a security given market risk premium of 13%, a stock beta of 1.77, and a risk free interest rate of 2%? Put the answer in decimal place.arrow_forward
- Stock R has a beta of 1.8, Stock S has a beta of 0.55, the expected rate of return on an average stock is 9%, and the risk-free rate is 3%. By how much does the required return on the riskier stock exceed that on the less risky stock?arrow_forwardSuppose the risk-free return is 3.5% and the market portfolio has an expected return of 11.9% and a volatility of 12.9% Merck & Co. (Ticker: MRK) stock has a 20.8% volatility and a correlation with the market of 0.065. a. What is Merck's beta with respect to the market? b. Under the CAPM assumptions, what is its expected return?arrow_forwardConsider the following multifactor (APT) model of security returns for a particular stock. Factor Factor Beta Factor Risk Premium Inflation 1.1 9% Industrial production 0.7 11 Oil prices 0.3 7 Required: If T - bills currently offer a 6% yield, find the expected rate of return on this stock if the market views the stock as fairly priced. Suppose that the market expects the values for the three macro factors given in column 1 below, but that the actual values turn out as given in column 2. Calculate the revised expectations for the rate of return on the stock once the "surprises" become known. Factor Expected Value Actual Value Inflation 7 % 3% Industrial production 6 7 Oil prices 4 0 Note: For all requirements, do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 1 decimal place.arrow_forward
- A stock has a beta of 1.32 and an expected return of 12.8 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.6 percent. What is the slope of the security market line? Can the calculator and excel solution be provided?arrow_forwardYou are using the CAPM to calculate a fair return for Stardust common stock. The shares have a volatility of 36.00%, while the market has a volatility of 19.00%. The correlation between the two sets of returns is 0.30. The risk free rate is 1.00%, while the expected return on the market is 3.90%. What is the fair return for Stardust common stock?arrow_forward
