Answer:
1.
r market = 0.12 or 12%
2.
r stock = 0.12 or 12%
3.
r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%
Explanation:
The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital asset pricing model equation. The formula for required rate of return under this model is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rpM is the risk premium on market
- r represents the required rate of return
1.
The beta of the market is always considered to be 1. Thus, the required rate of return on market would be,
r market = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07
r market = 0.12 or 12%
2.
For a stock whose beta is 1.0, the required rate of return would be same as that for market. So, the required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.0 is,
r Stock = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07
r Stock = 0.12 or 12%
3.
The required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.7 is,
r Stock = 0.05 + 1.7 * 0.07
r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%
