If you know that the interest rate for government bonds is 5% and the risk premium for investing in the capital market is 7%, what is the expected return for a stock that has a beta of 1.56?
As per capital asset pricing model
Expected return for a stock = Risk free rate + (market risk premium * Beta)
Therefore expected return = 5 + (7*1.56)
Expected Return = 5 + 7.8 = 12.8%
Expected return = 12.8%
