Assume that the risk-free rate is 2.5% and the market risk premium is 8%. What is the required return for the overall stock market? Round your answer to one decimal place. ? % What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 0.5? Round your answer to one decimal place. ? % The above is a two part question, therefore the second answer is determined based off the first answer provided. Please, please, please do provide both answers.
A) What expected return should an investor expect from investments in common stock? You are given the following information: Risk free rate of return = 4%; market risk premium = 11%; Beta of the stock (assume CAPM holds) = 0.72. B) Stock A with beta of 0.8 offers a 11% return while stock B with a beta of 1.2 offers a 15% return. What is the risk-free rate? What is the common market return? Assume CAPM holds.
4) Assume rhat the risk-free rate is 5.5% and the market rate premium is 6%. A) What is the required retuen for the overal stock market? Round 2 decimal places B) what is the required rate of return on a stock with beta of 1.7? Round your answer 2 decimal places

Assume that the risk-free rate of return is 4% and the market risk premium (i.e., Rm - R;) is 8%. If use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to estimate the expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.28, then this stock's expected return should be A) 10.53% B) 14.24% 23.15% 6.59%
3) Assume that the ridk-free rate is 4% and the required return on the market is 11%.What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.7? Rouund answer 2 decimals
(d) Suppose the risk-free rate is 4%, the market risk premium is 15% and the betas for stocks X and Y are 1.2 and 0.2 respectively. Using the CAPM model, estimate the required rates ofreturn of Stock X and Stock Y. (e) Given the results above, are Stocks X and Y overpriced or underpriced? Explain.
Suppose Stock A has B = 1 and an expected return of 11%. Stock B has a B = 1.5. The risk- free rate is 5%. Also consider that the covariance between B and the market is 0.135. Assume the CAPM is true. Answer the following questions: a) Calculate the expected return on share B. b) Find the equation of the Capital Market Line (CML). c) Build a portfolio Q with B = 0 using actions A and B. Indicate weights (interpret your result) and expected return of portfolio Q.
b) Suppose that you observe the following information in Table 2 for stocks A and B: Table 2 Expected Return (%) 11% Stock Beta A 0.8 В 14% 1.5 The risk-free rate of return is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market index is 12%. Using the Single-Index Model, calculate the alpha of both stocks. Show your calculations. Explain what the alpha of the single-factor model represents and interpret your results.
