A stock has a beta of 1.65, the expected return on the market is 10 percent, and the risk-free rate is 6 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be? |
Information provided:
Risk free rate= 6%
Beta= 1.65
Expected return on market= 10%
The expected return on a stock is calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
The formula is given below:
Ke=Rf+b[E(Rm)-Rf]
Where:
Rf=risk-free rate of return which is the yield on default free debt like treasury notes
Rm=expected rate of return on the market.
Rm-Rf= Market risk premium
b= Stock’s beta
Ke= 6% + 1.65*(10% - 6%)
= 6% + 6.60%
= 12.60%.
