Question

A stock has a beta of 1.00, the expected return on the market is 10 percent, and the risk-free rate is 3 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer 1

The expected return on this stock be 17.00%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the formula to compute expected rate of return is shown below:

Expected rate of return = Risk Free rate + Beta × (Market rate - Risk free rate)

Where, (Market rate - Risk free rate) this part is also known as market risk premium

So, expected rate of return = 10% + 1.00 × (10% - 3%)

= 10% + 1.00 × 7%

= 10% + 7%

= 17.00%

Hence, the expected return on this stock be 17.00%
