Question

The risk-free rate is 2.2 percent and the market expected return is 11.9 percent. What is the expected return of a stock that has a beta of .86?

Answer 1

Answer:

the expected return of a stock is 10.542%

Explanation:

The computation of the expected return on a stock is shown below:

Expected return on stock is

= Risk free rate + beta × (market rate of return - risk free rate)

= 2.2% + 0.86 × (11.9% - 2.2%)

= 2.2% + 0.86 × 9.7%

= 2.2% + 8.342

= 10.542%

hence, the expected return of a stock is 10.542%
