Using the equity asset valuation model (CAPM) equation, determine the required return for the shares of the following companies, if the market return is 7.50% (Rm = 7.50%) and the risk-free asset return is 1.25% (RF = 1.25%).

Assume that West Corp shares returns required in the market by investors are a function of two economic factors: S1 is 0.04 and S2 is 0.01, where risk-free rate is 7%. West shares have reaction coefficient to the factors, such that S1 = 1.3 and S2 = 0.90. Compute the expected rate of return using the arbitrage pricing model.
Understanding CAPM and beta. Assume the common stock of Starbucks has a beta of 0.61. Also, assume the rate of return on the market is Rm = 11 percent and the risk-free rate of return is Rf = 3 percent. According to CAPM, what is the expected return E(R;) on the common stock of Starbuck's? Hint: see CAPM formula of E(starbucks) = Rf + [(Rm - Rf) * (betastarbucks)] O 7.88 percent O 8.60 percent O 10.75 percent O 12.45 percent O 22.75 percent
You know that the return of Sandhill Cyclicals common shares is 1.2 times as sensitive to macroeconomic information as the return of the market.

Market equity beta measures the covariability of a firms returns with all shares traded on the market (in excess of the risk-free interest rate). We refer to the degree of covariability as systematic risk. The market prices securities so that the expected returns should compensate the investor for the systematic risk of a particular stock. Stocks carrying a market equity beta of 1.20 should generate a higher return than stocks carrying a market equity beta of 0.90. Nonsystematic risk is any source of risk that does not affect the covariability of a firms returns with the market. Some writers refer to nonsystematic risk as firm-specific risk. Why is the characterization of nonsystematic risk as firm-specific risk a misnomer?
