Homework answers / question archive / At the beginning of 2014, Apple's beta was 1
At the beginning of 2014, Apple's beta was 1.1 and the risk-free rate was about 4.7%. Apple's price was $82.93. Apple's price at the end of 2014 was $194.45. If you estimate the market risk premium to have been 5.2%, did Apple's managers exceed their investors' required return as given by the CAPM? The expected return was D%. (Round to two decimal places.)
| As per CAPM |
| expected return = risk-free rate + beta * (Market risk premium) |
| Expected return% = 4.7 + 1.1 * (5.2) |
| Expected return% = 10.42 |
| Actual return=((last value/First value)^(1/Time between 1st and last value)-1)*100 |
| =((194.45/82.93)^(1/1)-1)*100 |
| = 134.47 |
Yes they exceeded
