suppose risk free rate is 5 % , return on market is 11 % , and return on stock B is 14 % . a Calculate Stock B's beta, B.?
if Stock B's beta were 1.5, what would be B's new required rate of return?
a.
Risk free rate = 5%
Market return = 11%
Risk Premium = 11% - 5%
= 6%
Expected return = 14%
Beta is calculated below using CAPM model:
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk Premium × Beta
14% = 5% + (6% × beta)
9% = 6% × beta
Beta = 1.50
Beta of company is 1.50.
So, if Beta of cmpany is 1.50 then required rate of return is 14%.
