Answer:
Explanation:
Assume the initial invest at the beginning is $100.
The investment at end of year 4 is:
100 x 1.16 x 1.11 x 1.1 x 1.1 = 155.80
a) CAGR over the 4 years = (155.8 / 100 ) ^ (1/4) = 11.72%
b) Average annual return over 4 years = (16% +11% + 10% +10%) /4 = 11.75%
c) Since the returns over the 4 year period are not much volatile, average annual return is a better measure.
If the investment's returns are independent and identically distributed, Average annual return will be the better measure because there is no correlation between returns over the years and thus there is no point to take into consideration the compounding effect by using CAGR.

Answer:
Expected market return is 13%
Explanation:
CAPM is used to calculate the expected return on an asset for decision making to add any further asset to a well diversified portfolio. It involves different factors like market risk premium, asset beta and risk free rate as well to calculate a return rate which is expected to obtain from underline asset or investment.
As per given data
Expected return = 17.2%
Stock beta = 1.6
Risk free rate = 6%
According to CAPM
Expected Return on security = Risk free rate + Stock beta ( Market Risk Premium )
17.2% = 6% + 1.6 × ( Market Risk Premium )
17.2% = 6% + 1.6 × ( Market return - Risk free rate )
17.2% = 6% + 1.6 × ( Market return - 6% )
17.2% - 6% = 1.6 × ( Market return - 6% )
11.2% = 1.6 × ( Market return - 6% )
11.2% / 1.6 = Market return - 6%
7% = Market return - 6%
7% + 6% = Market return
Market return = 13%
