Answer 1

A)Correct option is "B" -I,II and IV is correct

CAPM implies that :

I. all investors who invest in risky assets will hold the same portfolio of risky assets.
II. the risk premium of an individual security is a function of the security's contribution to the risk of the market portfolio.

IV. all investors hold equal proportions of the risky and the riskless asset in their complete portfolio.

B)stock's required rate of return =Risk free rate+ [Beta(RM-RF)]

            = 2.25+ [1.21(11.75-2.25)]

             = 2.25 +[1.21 * 9.5]

             = 2.25+ 11.495

          = 13.745 % [rounded to 13.75%]

C)Return as per CAPM= Rf+ [beta * market risk premium]

       = 1.55+ [1.05*4]

          =1.55+ 4.2

          = 5.75%

REquired return = Dividend yield + capital gain yield

              = 2 +5

            = 7%

Alpha =required return - return as per CAPM

        =7- 5.75

        = 1.25%

correct option is "B"-1.25%; underpriced
