Describe what the CAPM is, and illustrate how it can be used to estimate a stock’s required rate of return.
(Please Explain Thoroughly)
CAPM model helps to identify the required rate of a project or a
company.. This helps in identifying the required rate for
calculating intrinsic value of firm. Here Capm required rate is
dependent on Beta , market risk premium and risk free rate.
CAPM introduced linear relationship of return with risk free
rate and market return and introduced the concept of systematic
risk given by beta which cannot be diversified away and
deversifiable risk.
Proxy for risk free rate is T-bill rate of return for less than 1
years
Proxy of market return is the S&P 500 returns for past 1
year
Beta = Covariance of Historical and market return/Variance of the
market
Required Rate using CAPM = Risk Free rate + Beta*(Market Return -
Risk Free rate)
