Concept explainers
a)
To discuss:
Change in market returns on expected returns.
Introduction:
Beta is an indicator of the risk tha measures the systematic risk of a risky investment by comparing the risky investment with the average risky asset in the market.

To discuss:
Calculation of required return.
Introduction:
c)
To discuss:
Required and Expected return of portfolio and the investment decision.
Introduction:
Return: In financial context, return is seen as percentage that represents the profit in an investment.
Portfolio refers to a set of financial investments such as debentures, stocks, bonds and mutual funds owned by the investor.
d)
To discuss:

Introduction:
Capital asset pricing model or CAPM establishes the relationship between the projected return for assets and systematic risk on the stocks.

- Please do not give solution in image formate thanku An investment generates the following monthly returns: 10.25%, -8.90%, 7.48%, 8.90%, 7.30%, 5.80%. Comparing with a risk-free benchmark rate of 5% for the time period, the investment is successful (i.e., investment return > 5%).arrow_forwardThe following investments and probabilities are presented: INVESTMENT 1 Years yield probability 1 11 0.25 2 13 0.25 3 19 0.10 4 16 0.20 5 15 0.20 INVESTMENT 2 Years yield PROBABILITY 1 18 0.15 2 16 0.15 3 11 0.40 4 10 0.15 5 11 0.15 1 Calculate the expected return on each investment 2 Calculate the standard deviation of both investments and indicate which investment is riskier and why? 3 Calculate the coefficient of variation of both investments and indicate which investment is riskier and why?

Because the existence of debt implies the consideration of the respective tax shield which benefits the equity holder. Ob. Because the equity holder exposure to systemic risk is the riskiest among all stakeholders, independently of financing decisions. Because in case of existing debt, the equity holder exposure to the systemic risk is the highest among all stakeholders.arrow_forward
- Question 2: 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). Assume that as a result of recent economic events, inflationary expectations have declined by 3%, lowering RF and RM to 5% and 9%, respectively. Draw the new SML on the axes in part a, and calculate and show the new required return for 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. From the previous changes, what conclusions can be drawn about the impact of (1) decreased inflationary expectations and (2) increased risk aversion on the required returns of risky assets?arrow_forwardGiven the current risk-free rate is 9% and the market return is 12%. TI Investment Beta A 0.65 1.12 C 0.87 1.19 E 0.56 Calculate the required rate of return for each of the investments by using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). ii. i. If you invest an equal amount in each investment, what is the portfolio beta?arrow_forwardQuestion 2: 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 economic events, inflationary expectations have declined by 3%, lowering RF and RM to 5% and 9%, respectively. Draw the new SML on the axes in part a, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. Step 1 Security market line (SML) is a graphical representation of how the approach of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) operates. SML represents the combination of risk-free return, market return, and beta to depict the expected return of the security. CAPM is a financial approach that helps to determine the expected return of security by creating a relationship between the systematic risk associated with the security and returns of assets. Expected return on a stock is the…arrow_forward
