The returns of ABC Company and the market are listed below. Compute the beta for ABC Company stock (Hint: Think rise over run).

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Beta = Covariance/Variance where: Covariance=A measure of an investment's return in relation to the market Variance is a measurement of how the market deviates from its mean.

Compute the beta for ABC Company stock ?

The standard deviation of returns for the asset could be divided by the standard deviation of returns for the benchmark to determine beta. The correlation between the security's returns and the benchmark's returns of 32.21 percent is multiplied to arrive at the final number.

Given that AAPL's beta of 0.6035 suggests the stock theoretically experiences 40 percent less volatility than SPY, AAPL would be regarded as being less volatile than SPY in this situation.

A stock with a beta greater than 1.0 fluctuates more than the market over time. A stock's beta is less than 1.0 if it moves less than the market. High-beta equities typically carry higher risks but also have a bigger potential reward. Although they carry less risk, low-beta equities often offer lesser returns.

Because of this, beta is frequently employed as a risk-reward ratio, which aids investors in deciding how much risk they are ready to accept in order to reap the potential rewards. It's crucial to take stock price volatility into account when determining risk. Beta is a useful proximate for risk if you view of risk as the likelihood that a stock would depreciate in value.

The NPV approach typically falls under the following decision tree:

a. If NPV is negative (Reject the proposal)

b. If NPV is positive (Accept if it's a singular project, Accept the highest positive NPV if it's for mutually exclusive Projects)

c. If Zero (this is the breakeven line at which the Project covers all its cost but does not return a profit.) Also referred to as the IRR

Standard Deviation would be calculated with the probability approach since there is probability given in the question.

Formula of Standard Deviation and the solution is given in the pictures below.
Although ERR the required part to calculate Standard Deviation is calculated in the text.

Calculating ERR:

ERR= Sum of Probabilities × Rate of returns.

In our question = ERR= 0.2 × 30% + 0.5 × 10% + 0.3 × (-6%) = 0.128 = 12.8%

Thus, by putting all the values in the formula you will get the answer 12.8%.
