The beta of Stock A is –0.7 (indicating that its returns rise when returns on most other stocks fall). If the risk-free rate is 4.7 percent and the expected rate of return on an average stock is 11 percent, what is the required rate of return on Stock A?

Required return=risk free rate+beta*(market rate-risk free rate)
=4.7-0.7*(11-4.7)
which is equal to
=0.29%

Stock Y has a beta of 0.7 and an expected return of 8.12 percent. Stock Z has a beta of 1.7 and an expected return of 15.04 percent. What would the risk-free rate (in percent) have to be for the two stocks to be correctly priced relative to each other?
Stock A has a beta of 0.7, whereas Stock B has a beta of 1.3. Portfolio P has 50% invested in both A and B. Which of the following would occur if the market risk premium increased by 1% but the risk-free rate remained constant? a. The required return on Portfolio P would remain unchanged. b.

HR Industries (HRI) has a beta of 1.5, while LR Industries's (LRI) beta is 0.7. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the required rate of return on an average stock is 13%. The expected rate of inflation built into rRF falls by 1.5 percentage points; the real risk-free rate remains constant; the required return on the market falls to 10.5%; and all betas remain constant. After all of these changes, what will be the difference in the required returns for...
