Expert Solution
Step 1

A financial framework employed to estimate an asset's anticipated rate of return is termed the capital asset pricing model. The predicted returns on the market and a risk-free commodity, as well as the asset's correlation with or responsiveness to the market, are used by CAPM. The model establishes a relationship between all these variables to estimate any investment alternatives' expected return.
