Data on the risk-free security (bRF = 0‚ kRF = 8.6%) and Security X (bX = 0.56‚ = 10.6%) provide the two points through which the SML can be drawn. kM pro¬vides a third point. e. In theory‚ you would be indifferent between the two stocks. Since they have the same beta‚ their relevant risks are identical‚ and in equilibrium they should provide the same returns. The two stocks would be represented by a single point on the SML. Stock

Atomic energy is energy produced by atoms. The term originated in 1903 when Ernest Rutherford began to speak of the possibility ofatomic energy.[1] The term was popularized by H. G. Wells in the phrase‚ "splitting the atom"‚ devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus. Atomic energy also may refer to: * Nuclear binding energy‚ the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom * Nuclear potential energy‚ the potential energy of the particles inside an atomic nucleus * Nuclear

assets‚ there exists a portfolio on the lower part of the portfolio frontier‚ rzp ‚ which is uncorrelated with it. Its β defined as Cov(rp ‚ rzp )/V ar(rp ) is therefore 0. That’s why the model is called the zero-beta CAPM. Let γ = E(rzp )‚ then the theory says that E(Rt − γ) = βE(Rpt − γ) We can estimate the model asset by asset using nonlinear least square (NLS). The formula must be in the form r = γ(1 − β) + βRm . Let g and b be γ and β‚ we can compare the estimates of γ as follows: > > + + + + +
