- CAPM: The Treasury bill rate is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. On the basis of Capital Asset Pricing Model: What is the risk premium of the market? What is the risk premium of an investment with a beta of 1.5? What is the required return of an investment with a beta of 1.5? If an investment has a beta of .8 and offers an expected return of 11% (think of it as its IRR), does it have a positive NPV?arrow_forwardSuppose the CAPM is true. Consider two assets, X and Y, and the market M. Suppose cov(X,M) = .3, cov(Y,M) = .5. %3D (a) Is the expected return higher on X or Y? (b) Suppose var(M) = 1.5, what are the betas of X and Y? (c) Suppose the expected market return is 20% and the risk free rate is 5%, what is the expected returns of X and Y?.
