- We know that two stocks A and B are correctly priced by the CAPM model. For A, the expected return is 12%, and the beta is 1.5; for B, the expected return is 6%, and the beta is 0.5. Based on this information, what is the risk free rate and expected market return? Select one: A. 3%; 9% B. 3%; 6% C. 2%; 8% D. 4%; 10%arrow_forwardAssume the expected return on the market is 18 percent and the risk-free rate is 4 percent. What is the expected return for a stock with a beta equal to 2.00? (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.25.) Expected return What is the market risk premiumarrow_forwardA stock has an expected return of 11.0%, its beta is 0.95, and the risk-free rate is 6.00%. What must the expected return on the market be?arrow_forward
- Which 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_forwardAssume that the risk-free rate is 2.5% and the required return on the market is 12%.
