Answer:

Beta = 2

New required rate of return = 16.50%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

12.50% = 3% + Beta × 4.75%

12.50% - 3% = Beta × 4.75%

So, the beta would be 2

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as the market risk premium

Now the required rate of return would be

= 3% + 2 × 6.75%

= 3% + 13.50%

= 16.50%

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Risk free rate(Rf) = 1.5%

Market return(Rm) = 8%

Beta(β) = 0.8

ER(P) = Rf  + β(Rm – Rf)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(8-1.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(6.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 5.2

ER(P) = 6.7%

Alpha = Annual average return - ER(P)

         = 7.2% - 6.7%

         = 0.5%

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the expected return on the stock based on CAPM. Thereafter, we will calculate alpha by deducting the expected return from annual average return.
