How do you find the market risk premium and market expected return given the expected return of stock, beta, and risk free rate? Example: The expected return of a stock with a beta of 1.2 is 16.2%. Calculate the market risk premium and the market expected return, given a risk-free rate of 3%.
Assume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is foundto be half of the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourth of the requiredreturn 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 payreturns of 15% with the standard deviation equal to 20%. Asset A pays on average 5%, has standarddeviation equal to 20% and is NOT correlated with the S&P500. Asset B pays on average 8%, also hasstandard deviation equal to 20% and has correlation of 0.5 with the S&P500. Determine whetherasset A and B are overvalued or undervalued, and explain why.
