A stock with a beta of 1.1 has an expected rate of return of 16%. If the market return this year turns out to be 10 percentage points below expectations, what is your best guess as to the rate of return on the stock?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The rate of return on the stock can be best guessed to be 5%

Explanation:

Beta = 1.1

expected rate of return = 16%

But return = 10%

1.1 x 10%

= 11%

The updated expectation for the stock return is

= 16% − 11%

= 5%.

Therefore The rate of return on the stock can be best guessed to be 5%
