Yurop Shrestha Economics Thesis CAPM vs. APT: An Empirical Analysis Introduction The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)‚ was first developed by William Sharpe (1964)‚ and later extended and clarified by John Lintner (1965) and Fischer Black (1972). Four decades after the birth of this model‚ CAPM is still accepted as an appropriate technique for evaluating financial assets and retains an important place in both academic scholars and finance practitioners. It is used to estimate cost of capital

developing a theory‚ theorists must construct their theory so that it can be judged by this certain criteria. This criteria is made out of: 1.) empirical validity‚ 2.) its logical consistency‚ 3.) scope‚ and parsimony‚ 4.) testability as well as 5.) The usefulness and 6.) the policy implications (Akers and Sellers‚ 5). It is important for a theory to possess empirical validity because without it‚ theorist would be unable to determine whether said theory could be accepted or dissolved with the evidence that

Joe Schmoe Period 3 March 8‚ 2013 Lab Report: Empirical Formula of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl) * Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to determine the empirical formula. Empirical means “based on experimental evidence.” * Experimental Design The reaction that occurred was the reaction of the elements Zinc (Zn) and Chloride (Cl) by mixing a piece(s) of Zinc and 50mL of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The amount of Zinc was determined to be between 1.00g and 1.25g. As the reaction

indicated by a very pale pink color. To calculate the molarity of NaOH‚ the following equation was used MNaOH x VNaOH = MKHP x VKHP therefore the molarity was .125 M. INTRODUCTION This lab experiment covers the preparation of standard solution and the acid/base titration. The first part of the lab is to prepare a standard solution of Potassium hydrogen per. A standard solution is a solution of known concentration‚ in which it is prepared using exacting techniques to make sure that the molarity
