Expected Return Finance Question?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
A stock has a beta of 1.14, the expected return on the market is 10 percent, and the risk-free rate is 3.5 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be?

As per 'Capital Asset Pricing Model - CAPM':

Expected Return = Risk Free Return + Beta(Expected Market Return - Risk Free Return)

By substituting values in the above formula, we get:

Expected Return = 3.5% + 1.14(10% - 3.5% )

OR

Expected Return = 3.5% + 1.14(6.5%) = 10.91% .

A stock has a beta of 1.14, the expected return on the market is 10 percent, and the risk-free rate is 3.5 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be?
