A stock lies on SML has an expected return of 10.7% and a beta of .91, and the expected return on the market is 11.5%. what is the intercept and slope of sml?
SML intercept = Risk free rate
SML Slope = Market Risk Premium
-----
We can find Risk-free rate from CAPM equation:
Return on stock = Risk free rate + Beta x (Market Rate - Risk free rate)
10.7% = Risk free rate + 0.91 x (11.5% - Risk free rate)
Risk free rate - 0.91 x Risk free rate = 10.7% - 0.91x11.5%
Risk free rate = (10.7%-0.91x11.5%)/0.09
Risk free rate = 2.6111%
Hence, intercept of SML = 2.6111%
.
Now, we can find slope of the SML = Market risk premium = MRP;
Market risk premium = Market rate - Risk free rate
MRP = 11.5%-2.6111%
MRP = 8.8889%
.
Hence slope of SML = 8.8889%
