The expected return on the S&P/ASX 200 stock market index is 12% and the risk-free rate is 5%. What is the expected return on the investment with a beta of: (a) 0.2, (b) 0.5, and (c) 1.4?
a). Computation of the expected return:-
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free rate)
= 5% + 0.2 * (12% - 5%)
= 5% + (0.2 * 7%)
= 5% + 1.4%
= 6.40%
b). Computation of the expected return:-
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free rate)
= 5% + 0.5 * (12% - 5%)
= 5% + (0.5 * 7%)
= 5% + 3.5%
= 8.50%
c). Computation of the expected return:-
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.4 * (12% - 5%)
= 5% + (1.4 * 7%)
= 5% + 9.8%
= 14.80%
