Question

You are considering Project A, with the following information (Assume all statistics given are correct):

                        Economy         Probability of                                Rates of Return      ____
                        Condition      State Occurring         Project A            Market              T-Bill
                        Bad                            0.2                       3.0%                 0.0%                4.82%
                        Average                     0.4                      10.0%                8.0%                4.82%
                        Good                         0.4                      15.0%              12.0%                4.82%   
                        Expected return                                  10.6%                 8.0%                4.82%
                        Standard deviation                              5.72%              4.38%                  0%
                        Correlation Coefficient between Project A and Market = 0.83    

Compute (a) Project A's beta; and (b) the required rate of return for Project A. Round your answers to two decimal places of a whole number for beta and of % for RRR but ignore % in your answer, e.g., x.xx. (Hint: Measure Project A's beta using the statistical formula first and then RRR using the CAPM.)

Project A's beta =  ;
Required rate of return for Project A =  %
