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% | ||||
