Assume that Temp Force has a beta coefficient of 1.2, that the risk-free rate (the yield on T-bonds) is 7.0%, and that the market risk premium is 5%. What is the required rate of return on the firms stock?
The following four macro-economic factors were identified regarding a stock As returns, the stock sensitivity to each factor and the related risk premium associated with each factor have been calculated as follows: Gross domestic product (GDP) growth=0.6 RP=4% Inflation rate= 0.8, RP=2% Platinum prices=-0.7, RP= 5% Standard and Poor’s 500 index return= 1.3 RP=9% The risk free rate is 3% Calculate the expected rate of return using the Arbitrage pricing theory formula.
Stocks A and B have the following data. The market risk premium is 6.0% and the risk-free rate is 6.4%. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? (Hint: Dividend yield (D1/P0) is the difference between Re and g. Calculate Re first by using CAPM.) A B Beta 1.10 0.90 Constant growth rate 7.00% 7.00% Stock A must have a higher stock price than Stock B. Stock A must have a higher dividend yield than Stock B. Stock B’s dividend yield equals its expected dividend growth rate. Stock B must have the higher required return. Stock B could have the higher expected return.
A stock has the following four factors which were used to explain the return on Stock YGF and the level of sensitivity of each factor and the risk premium associated. GDP growth: β= 0.4, RP= 3% Inflation rate: β= 0.5, RP=3% Commodity prices: β=-0.6, RP=6% Standards and Poor’s 500 Index Returns: β=1.5, RP=8% While the risk free rate is 4% Using the APT formula, calculate the expected returns on the said stock
You are facing three stock investment alternatives, Stock A, Stock B and Stock C. Given the following information, please indicate which stock is (are) overvalued, which stock is (are) undervalued, and which stock is (are) correctly priced based on the required returns calculation using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM or Security Market Line=SML). The risk free rate is 3% and the risk premium for the market index return is 5%. Please Show Work Expected Stocks Returns BETA A 14% 1.2 B 8% 0.67 C 20% 2.5
Fama-French Three-Factor Model An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The market return is 11%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.6%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 5.4%. Risk free return 0%. . If ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = -0.4, and di = 1.3, what is the stock's predicted return? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Express Steel Corporation wishes to calculate its cost of common stock equity, by using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The firm’s investment advisors and its own analysts indicate that the risk-free rate equals 9,1%; the firm’s beta equals 0,75; and the market return equals 16%. Please estimate the cost of common stock equity by using CAPM.
Assume that you are using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to find the expected return for a share of common stock. Your research shows the following: Beta = βi = 1.54 Risk free rate = Rf = 2.5% per year Market return = E(RM) = 6.5% per year Based on this information, answer the following: A. Based on the beta, how does the stock's risk compare to the market overall? On what do you base your answer? B. Based on the beta, how would you expect the stock's returns to react to a decrease in returns in the market overall? Why? C. According to the CAPM and the information given above, what is the expected return E(Ri) for this stock? D. If the required rate of return on this stock were 7% per year, would you invest? Why or why not?
In an economy where the risk-free interest rate is 19% and the expected return of the market is 25%, the beta coefficients of A, B, C and D stocks and the expected returns announced by the companies are as follows. According to the Financial (Capital) Assets Pricing Model c) Calculate the expected return rates of the shares.d) Determine which stocks can be invested by comparing the expected return announced by the company with the expected return you calculated.
If the risk free rate is 4.4%, the expected return on the market portfolio (i.e., Rm)( is 11.6%, and the beta of Stock B is 0.9 , what is the required rate of return for Stock B according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)? (Round your answer rounded to one decimal place and record without a percent sign). Your Answer: If the risk free rate is 1.2%, the market risk premium (i.e., Rm - Rf) is 13.5%, and the beta of Stock B is 1.9 , what is the required rate of return for Stock B according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)? (Round your answer rounded to one decimal place and record without a percent sign). Your Answer:
Suppose you are given the following inputs for the Fama-Frech-3-Factor model. Required Return for Stock i: bi=0.8, kRF=8%, the market risk premium is 6%, ci=-0.6, the expected value for the size factor is 5%, di=-0.4, and the expected value for the book-to-market factor is 4%. Task: Estimate the required rate of return of this asset using the Capital asset pricing model and compare it with the Fama-French-3-factor model.
he table below shows information for 3 stocks. Security Beta Risk-free rate Expected market return Stock 1 1.9 0.02 0.09 Stock 2 1.2 0.035 0.09 Stock 3 0.2 0.015 0.09 The risk-free rates are different because they were measured in different years. Calculate the expected (or required) return for each stock, using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). What is the required return for stock 1? What is the required return for stock 2? What is the required return for stock 3?
