Question

The stock of Wiley United has a beta of 1. The market risk premium is 11.5 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.3 percent. What is the expected return on this stock in percent

Answer 1

9.41%

Step-by-step explanation:

Wiley United has a beta of 1

The market risk premium 11.5%

= 11.5/100

=0.115

Risk free rate is 2.3%

= 2.3/100

= 0.023

Therefore the expected rate of return can be calculated as follows

Expected rate of return= Risk free rate+beta(market return-risk free rate)

= 0.023+1(0.115-0.023)

= 1.023(0.092)

= 0.0941×100

=9.41%

Hence the expected return on the stock is 9.41%
