Consider the CAPM. The expected return on the market is 10%. The expected return on a stock with a beta of 1.7 is 19%. What is the risk-free rate?
R = Rf+ B(Rm-Rf) | ||||
Where, | ||||
Rf = Risk Free Return | ||||
B= Beta | ||||
Rm = Market rate of return | ||||
Rm-Rf= Risk Premium | ||||
19%=Rf+1.7*(0.1-Rf) | ||||
0.19 =Rf + 0.17 -Rf 1.7 | ||||
0.19 =-0.7rf +0.17 | ||||
Rf = -2.86% | ||||
risk free rate = -2.86% | ||||
