The one-month treasury rate is 0.9%, and the expected rate of
return for the S&P 500 Index is 6.3%. Use the capital asset
pricing model (CAPM) to calculate the expected rate of return on a
security with a beta of 2.3.
Assume that the 90-day Treasury Bill rate of return is 3.5% and
the S&P 500 index rate of return is 12%. a) Write the CAPM
equation using the above data. b) What is the intercept and slope
of the above CAPM equation? c) What is the stock’s risk premium
from the above data
The expected rate of return on a Treasury Bill is 0.020, the
expected rate of return on the Bud 5000 is 0.08 and the required
rate of return of a stock is 0.10. What is the stocks beta?
The expected return of the S&P 500 = 11% and the risk = 22%.
The risk free rate = 5%. Assume you have a very, very highly risk
averse person whose A = 1,000. How much of the person’s wealth
would be in stocks and how much in T-Bills?
Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 12% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 3%.

Asset Pricing (CAPM & APT) 1 If you want to invest into a stock A for one year, and given that during this period the expected return of the S&P 500 index is 25%, the risk-free rate in the market is 5% and stock A's sensitivity to the market risk is 0.5 Compute the expected return of stock A that you want to invest.

Consider historical data showing that the average annual rate
of return on the S&P 500 portfolio over the past 85 years has
averaged roughly 8% more than the Treasury bill return and that the
S&P 500 standard deviation has been about 20% per year. Assume
these values are representative of investors’ expectations for
future performance and that the current T-bill rate is 5%.
