An investor identifies three factors affecting the share price of company A. The data with regard to the factors are as follows:
Risk factor sensitivity to factor X return rate from factor X
1 0,7 1,5%
2 1,2 4,0%
3 -0,1 5,0%
Assuming the risk-free rate equal to 3% and utilizing APT model calculate an expected rate of return for company A
The expected rate of return = Risk-free rate + Summation of [Sensitivity to factor X* Return rate from factor X]
The expected rate of return = 0.03 + 0.7*0.015 + 1.2*0.04 -0.1*0.05
The expected rate of return = 0.0835 = 8.35%
