Suppose you observe the following information: The stock of Besl Baseball Statistics has a beta of 0.3, and an expected return of 5.25%. The stock of Bannon Buybacks has a beta of 1.2, and an expected return of 16.5%. Based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model, what is the market risk premium?
Using CAPM model,
0.0525 = Rf + 0.30(Market Risk Premium)
0.165 = Rf + 1.20(Market Risk Premium)
So,
0.165 = 0.0525 - 0.30(Market Risk Premium) + 1.20(Market Risk Premium)
Market Risk Premium = 12.50%
