When working with the CAPM, which of the following factors can be determined with the most precision? a. The beta coefficient of "the market," which is the same as the beta of an average stock. b. The beta coefficient, bi, of a relatively safe stock. c. The market risk premium (RPM). d. The most appropriate risk-free rate, rRF. e. The expected rate of return on the market, rM.
The security market line (SML) is an equation that shows the relationship between risk as measured by beta and the required rates of return on individual securities. The SML equation is given below: Required return on Stock = Risk-free return + (Market risk premium) (Stock's beta) If a stock's expected return plots on or above the SML, then the stock's return is sufficient ✓to compensate the investor for risk. If a stock's expected return plots below the SML, the stock's return is insufficient to compensate the investor for risk. The SML line can change due to expected inflation and risk aversion. If inflation changes, then the SML plotted on a graph will shift up or down parallel to the old SML. If risk aversion changes, then the SML plotted on a graph will rotate up or down becoming more or less steep if investors become more or less risk averse. A firm can influence market risk (hence its beta coefficient) through changes in the composition of its assets and through changes in the…

The table below contains the covariance matrix of stock returns and the market. Assume that the assumptions of CAPM hold. 1. Find the market risk. 2. Find the systematic risk of BlueChip.
Questions C and D is required. c) Assume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is found to be half of the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourth of the required return 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 pay returns of 15% with the standard deviation equal to 20%. Asset A pays on average 5%, has standard deviation equal to 20% and is NOT correlated with the S&P500. Asset B pays on average 8%, also has standard deviation equal to 20% and has correlation of 0.5 with the S&P500. Determine whether asset A and B are overvalued or undervalued, and explain why. (Hint: Beta of asset i ( , where are standard deviations of asset i and market portfolio, is the correlation between asset i and the market portfolio)
