If the risk-free rate is 2.4 percent and the market risk premium is 7.2 percent, the reward-to-risk ratios for stocks Y and Z are ____ and ____ percent, respectively. Since the SML reward-to-risk is ____ percent, Stock Y is ____(undervalued/ overvalued) and Stock Z is ____(undervalued/ overvalued).arrow_forwardStock X has a beta of 1.15 and an expected return of 11.1 percent. Stock Y has a beta of 1.2 and an expected return of 11.5 percent. What is the risk - free rate of return assuming that both stock X and stock Y are correctly priced?arrow_forward

- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion The return on the Tarheel Corporation stock is expected to be 14 percent with a standard deviation of 9 percent. The beta of Tarheel is 0.9. The risk-free rate is 6 percent, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 16 percent. What is the probability that an investor in Tarheel will earn a rate of return less than the required rate of return? Assume that returns are normally distributed. Use Table V to answer the question. Round z value in intermediate calculation to two decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.arrow_forwardAssume that the CAPM holds. One stock has an expected return of 8% and a beta of 0.3. Another stock has an expected return of 14% and a beta of 1.5. What is the return-to-risk ratio that CAPM assumes equal across all individual stocks?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
