Students have asked these similar questions
a. Calculate the required rate of return for an asset that has a beta of
1.19,
given a risk-free rate of
2.7%
and a market return of
8.9%.
b. If investors have become more risk-averse due to recent geopolitical events, and the market return rises to
12.1%,
what is the required rate of return for the same asset?
QUESTIONS:
1) Assuming that the risk-free rate of return is currently 3,2%, the market risk premium is 6%
whereas the beta of HelloFresh SH. stock is 1.8, compute the required rate of return using
CAPM.
2) Compute the value of each investment based on your required rate of return and interpret
the results comparing with the market values.
3) Which investment would you select? Explain why using appropriate financial jargon
(language).
4) Assume HelloFresh SH's CFO Mr. Christian Gaertner expects an earnings upturn resulting
increase in growth (rate) of 1%. How does this affect your answers to Question 2 and 3?
5) AACSB Critical Thinking Questions:
A) Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds, and
the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their
bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why do you think they do
it? (Textbook page: 198)
B) What are the difficulties in using the PE ratio to value stock?…
2C)
Assume that the CAPM holds in the economy. The following data is available about the market portfolio, the riskless rate, and two risky assets, W and X: The market portfolio has a standard deviation equals to 10%, stock W has an expected return equals to 16%, standard deviation equals to 12%, and beta equals to one, stock X has a standard deviation equals to 6% and beta equals to 0.7. The risk-free rate is 3%.
What is the expected return and the beta of the market portfolio?
What is the expected return on asset X?
Does asset W lie on the Capital Market Line? Explain why or why not.
Suppose you invested $100,000 in these two stocks. The beta of your portfolio is 1.25. How much did you invest in each stock? What is the expected return of this portfolio?

- Assume that the risk-free rate, RF, is currently 8%, the market return, RM, is 12%, and asset A has a beta, of 1.10. (could be done on word document or excel). Draw the security market line (SML) Use the CAPM to calculate the required return, on asset A. Assume that as a result of recent events, investors have become more risk averse, causing the market return to rise by 2%, to be14%. Ignoring the shift in part c, draw the new SML on the same set of axes that you used before, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A.arrow_forwardAssume that you are given the following historical returns for the Market and Security J. Also assume that the expected risk-free rate for the coming year is 4.0 percent, while the expected market risk premium is 15.0 percent.
