the risk free rate is 3% and the market premium rM rRF is 4%. stock A has a beta of 1.2, and stock B has a beta of 0.8.
what is the required rate of return on each stock?

- suppose a risk free rate is 6% and the market premium is 7%. D1 is 1.25 per share and stock beta is 1.15. What is the required return?arrow_forwardPlease help me show full steps ..arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? (Assume that the risk-free rate is a constant.) a. The effect of a change in the market risk premium depends on the slope of the yield curve. b. If the market risk premium increases by 1%, then the required return on all stocks will rise by 1%. c. If the market risk premium increases by 1%, then the required return will increase by 1% for a stock that has a beta of 1.0. d. The effect of a change in the market risk premium depends on the level of the risk-free rate. e. If the market risk premium increases by 1%, then the required return will increase for stocks that have a beta greater than 1.0, but it will decrease for stocks that have a beta less than 1.0.arrow_forward
- Suppose that during the coming year, the risk free rate, rRF, is expected to remain the same, while the market risk premium (rM − rRF), is expected to fall. Given this forecast, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The required return on all stocks will remain unchanged. b. The required return will fall for all stocks, but it will fall more for stocks with higher betas. c. The required return for all stocks will fall by the same amount. d. The required return will fall for all stocks, but it will fall less for stocks with higher betas. e. The required return will increase for stocks with a beta less than 1.0 and will decrease for stocks with a beta greater than 1.0.arrow_forwardAsset X has an expected return of 10% and volatility of 10% . If its Sharpe Ratio is 0.60, what is the risk-free rate?arrow_forwardSuppose that the Treasury bill rate is 6% rather than 3%, as we assumed in Table 12.1, and the expected return on the market is 9%. Use the betas in that table to answer the following questions. a. When you assume this higher risk-free interest rate, what makes sense for how you should modify your assumption about the rate of return on the market portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.) b. Recalculate the expected return on the stocks in Table 12.1. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.) c. Suppose now that you continued to assume that the expected return on the market remained at 9%. Now what would be the expected returns on each stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)d.

- You are using the CAPM to calculate a fair return for Stardust common stock. The shares have a volatility of 28.00%, while the market has a volatility of 15.00%. The correlation between the two sets of returns is 0.3. The risk free rate is 2.60%, while the expected return on the market is 4.80%. What is the fair return for Stardust common stock?arrow_forwardAssume that the risk-free rate is 2.8 percent, and that the market risk premium is 4.8 percent. If a stock has a required rate of return of 16.1 percent, what is its beta? Your Answer: Answerarrow_forward1. Stock Y has a beta of 1.2 and an expected return of 11.1 percent. Stock Z has a beta of .8 and an expected return of 7.85 percent. 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_forward
