Suppose that Stock A has a beta of 0.7 and Stock B has a beta of 1.2. Which stock should have a higher actual return next year according to the capital asset pricing model? Please explain briefly
Stock B has higher actual return for next year due to higher return because return is calculated by following formula in CAPM
=rf+Beta(rm-rf).
So from formula it's clear that high beta high return.
Example let rf=7%
rm=10%
Return on
Stock A=7+0.7(10-7)=9.1%
Stock B=7+1.2(10-7)=10.6%.
So stock B generate more return.
