Stock A has a beta of 1.2, Stock B has a beta of 0.6, the expected rate of return on an average stock is 12 percent, and the risk-free rate of return is 7 percent. By how much does the required return on the riskier stock exceed the required return on the less risky stock?
Stock X has a beta of 1.15 and an expected return of 11.1 percent. Stock Y has a beta of 1.2 and an expected return of 11.5 percent. What is the risk - free rate of return
assuming that both stock X and stock Y are correctly priced?
The risk-free rate is 5.6%, the market risk premium is 8.5%, and the stock’s beta is 2.27. What is the required rate of return on the stock, E(Ri)?

- Calculate the correlation coefficient between Blandy and the market. Use this and the previously calculated (or given) standard deviations of Blandy and the market to estimate Blandy’s beta. Does Blandy contribute more or less risk to a well-diversified portfolio than does the average stock? Use the SML to estimate Blandy’s required return.arrow_forwardHow do you find the market risk premium and market expected return given the expected return of stock, beta, and risk free rate?

- 1. 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.
