Problem 8-08
Two stocks, A and B, have beta coefficients of 0.9 and 1.4, respectively. If the expected return on the market is 14 percent and the risk-free rate is 6 percent, what is the risk premium associated with each stock? Round your answers to two decimal places.
The risk premium for stock A: %
The risk premium for stock B: %
Stock A:
Risk premium = Beta(market return - risk free rate)
Risk premium = 0.9(14% - 6%)
Risk premium = 0.072 or 7.20%
Stock B:
Risk premium = Beta(market return - risk free rate)
Risk premium = 1.4(14% - 6%)
Risk premium = 0.112 or 11.20%

Problem 8-08 Two stocks, A and B, have beta coefficients of 0.8 and 0.6, respectively. If the expected return on the market is 14 percent and the risk-free rate is 5 percent, what is the risk premium associated with each stock? Round your answers to two decimal places. The risk premium for stock A: The risk premium for stock B:
Two stocks, A and B, have beta coefficients of 0.8 and 1.4, respectively. If the expected return on the market is 10 percent and the risk-free rate is 5 percent, what is the risk premium associated with each stock?
tock Y has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 17 percent.
Stock Z has a beta of .7 and an expected return of 10.1 percent. If
the risk-free rate is 6 percent and the market risk premium is 7.2
percent, the reward-to-risk and ratios for Stocks Y and Z are
percent, respectively. Since the SML reward-to-risk is percent,
Stock Y is and Stock Z is (Do not round intermediate calculations

You are offered two stocks. The beta of A is 1.4 while the beta of B is 0.8. The growth rates of earnings and dividends are 10 percent and 5 percent, respectively. The dividend yields are 5 percent and 7 percent, respectively. a) Since A offers higher potential growth, should it be purchased? b) Since B offers a higher dividend yield, should it be purchased? c) If the risk-free rate of return were 7 percent and the return on the...
Stock Y has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 15.1 percent. Stock Z has a beta of.7 and an expected return of 8.6 percent. If the risk-free rate is 5 percent and the market risk premium is 6.5 percent, the reward-to-risk ratios for Stocks Y and Z are and percent, respectively. Since the SML reward-to-risk is percent, Stock Y is and Stock Z is (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded...

Stock Y has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 15.2 percent. Stock Z has a beta of 7 and an expected return of 9.1 percent. If the risk-free rate is 5.4 percent and the market risk premium is 6.4 percent, the reward-to-risk ratios for Stocks Y and Z are and percent, respectively. Since the SML reward-to-risk is percent, Stock Y is undervalued and Stock Z is overvalued (Do not round intermediate calculations and...
