Investors expect the market rate of return this year to be 14.50%. The expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.2 is currently 17.40%. If the market return this year turns out to be 12.10%, how would you revise your expectation of the rate of return on the stock?

Respuesta :

Answer:

14.52%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return on the stock is shown below:-

The expected rate of return on the stock = Beta × (Rate of return - Market rate of return)

= 1.2 × (0.121 - 0.145)

= - 2.88%

So, the expected rate of return on the stock = Current percentage - expected rate of return on the stock

= 0.174 - 0.0288

= 14.52%

Therefore we simply applied the above formulas
