the market for a portfolio with a beta of 1 is 12%. According to the CAPM: a) What is the expected rate of return on the market portfolio? b) What would be the expected rate of return on a stock with β = 0? c) Suppose you consider buying a stock which does not pay a dividend. The current price is $50‚ and in one year‚ you expect the price to be $57.50‚ giving a rate of return of 15%. The stock has a β which you calculate to be 0.75.

Critically evaluate the use of “Beta” and CAPM by a fund manager to select the shares to be purchased. Introduction. In financial sector‚ a fundamental question for any fund manager is how to estimate correctly their equity investment. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and Beta can be used to provide comprehensible answer for this question. According to the earlier study of Markowitz (1952)‚ Sharp (1964)‚ Lintner (1965) and Mossin (1966) have developed CAPM as a key portfolio management model that

Question 2: Application The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) can be written as E(Rjt |Rmt ‚ Rf t ) = Rf t + βj (Rmt − Rf t )‚ where Rjt is the net return of security j at period t‚ Rmt is the return on a market portfolio proxy‚ and Rf t is the return on a risk-free proxy. The coefficient βj is the CAPM beta for security j. Suppose that you have estimated βj by ordinary least squares and found that the estimated value was 1.37 with

average cost of capital as a basis for the evaluation. A company’s securities typically include both debt and equity‚ one must therefore calculate both the cost of debt and the cost of equity to determine a company’s cost of capital. However‚ a rate of return larger than the cost of capital is usually required. The cost of debt is relatively simple to calculate‚ as it is composed of the rate of interest paid. In practice‚ the interest-rate paid by the company can be modeled as the risk-free rate

1. On one half a page review what does our traditional finance framework and the CAPM model‚ for example‚ have to say about risk? What is it? How is it approached? The traditional finance framework uses discounted expected future cash flow to determine the NPV of the project. The amount of the opportunity cost is based on a relation between the risk and return of some sort of investment. People are rational and adverse to risk and need incentive to accept risk. The incentive in finance comes in

Calculate WACC using book values: The weight of debt is calculated by adding the current portion of long-term debt‚ notes payable and long-term debt‚ and dividing it by the sum of debt and equity. $5.4 + 855.3 + 435.9 = $1‚296.6 $1‚296.6 / (1‚296.6 + 3‚494.5) = .27 = 27% The weight of equity is calculated by dividing the total shareholder equity by the sum of debt and equity. $3‚494.5 / (1‚296.6 + 3‚494.5) = .73 = 73% Cost of Debt To find the cost of debt I subtracted the tax savings from
