11. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) contends that there is systematic and unsystematic risk for an individual security. Which is the relevant risk variable and why is it relevant? Why is the other risk variable not relevant?
The relevenat risk is the systematic risk as it cannot be diversified away.
An investor can diversify away the unsystematic risk of securities by constructing a portfolio of securities.
Systematic risk are economy-wide risks such as inflation, exchange rate and interest rate volatility that all companies face. These risks threaten each company. Therefore, this risk cannot be avoided, regardless of how diversified a portfolio the investor holds.
Market rewards investors for taking systematic risk and not unsystematic risk as unsystematic risk can be diversified away.

a. You expect an RFR of 10 percent and the market return (RM) of 14 percent. Compute the expected return for the following stocks, and plot them on an SML graph.
CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) equation is:
r A= r f + βA (r m - r f)
risk free rate=RFR= r f = 10%
return on market portfolio= r m = 14%
Stock Beta E ( Ri )
U 0.85 13.40% =10.%+0.85*(14.%-10.%)
N 1.25 15.00% =10.%+1.25*(14.%-10.%)
D -0.2 9.20% =10.%+-0.2*(14.%-10.%)
Beta R
Risk free rate 0 10%
Market 1 14%
U 0.85 13.40%
N 1.25 15.00%
D -0.2 9.20%
b. You ask a stockbroker what the firm's research department expects for these three stocks. The broker responds with the following information:
Stock Current Price Expected Price Expected Dividend Expected Return
U 22 24 0.75 12.50% ={(0.75 + 24 ) / 22 }-1
N 48 51 2 10.42% ={(2 + 51 ) / 48 }-1
D 37 40 1.25 11.49% ={(1.25 + 40 ) / 37 }-1
Plot your estimated returns on the graph from Part a, and indicate what actions you would take with regard to these stocks. Explain your decisions.
