Introduction The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) has been one of the most widely used techniques in the global investing community for calculating the required return of a risky asset. This project aims to test whether CAPM is a valid model for predicting the price/return of some selected companies listed on the S&P 500 Index. Also we investigate‚ whether there appear to be some deviations from the model and look for plausible reasons to explain these. For the purpose of the project‚ actual monthly

Case Study 3 According to the capital Asset pricing model (CAPM)‚ the risk associated with a capital asset is proportional to the slope obtaining by regressing the asset’s past returns with the corresponding returns of the average portfolio called the market portfolio. (The return of the market portfolio represents the return earned by the average investor. It is a weighted average of the returns from all the assets in the market). The larger the slope of an asset‚ the larger is the risk associated

Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is one of the economic models used to determine the market price for risk and the appropriate measure of risk for a single asset. The CAPM shows that the equilibrium rates of return on all risky assets are function of their covariance with the market portfolio. This theory helps us understand why expected returns change through time. Furthermore‚ this model is developed in a hypothetical world with many assumptions. The Sharp-Lintner-Black CAPM states that the expected

The definition of Discount Cash Flow is uses of future free cash flow projections and discounts them (most often using the weighted average cost of capital) to arrive at a present value‚ which is used to evaluate the potential for investment. If the value arrived at through DCF analysis is higher than the current cost of the investment‚ the opportunity may be a good one. The Discount Cash Flow shows that changes in long-term growth rates have

Capital Assed Pricing Model‚ widely known as CAPM is essentially an equilibrium relationship between expected return and risk of an asset and that is used in the pricing of risky securities. CAPM is the result of William Sharpe (1964) and John Lintner (1965). Sharpe took the Nobel prize in 1990 for the asset pricing theory. CAPM is used for a range of applications and purposes‚ these include estimating the cost of equity capitals for firms as well as evaluating the performance of managed portfolios

Equity Costs: Some Conventions on Using the CAPM1 One of the starkest contrasts in finance is found in comparing the elegance of capital-asset pricing theory with the coarseness of its application. Although the capital-asset pricing model (CAPM) is well understood‚ the theory says nothing about which risk-free rates‚ market premia‚ and betas to use in the model. Possibilities abound‚ and any sampling of academicians and practitioners will summon up many combinations and permutations of methods
