Problem 8-1
Expected returnA stock’s returns have the following distribution:
Demand for the Company’s
Products
Probability of This Demand
Occurring
Rate of Return If This
Demand Occurs
Weak 0.1 (50%)
Below average 0.2 (5)
Average 0.4 16
Above average 0.2 25
Strong 0.1 60
1.0
Calculate the stock’s expected return, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.
Expected return= 0.1(-50) + 0.2(-5) + 0.4(16) + 0.2(25) + 0.1(60)
=11.4%

Problem 8-3
Required rate of return. Assume that the risk-free rate is 6 percent and the expected
return on the market is 13 percent. What is the required rate of return on a stock with a
beta of 0.7?

Problem 8-5
Beta and required rate of return. A stock has a required return of 11 percent; the risk-free
rate is 7 percent; and the market risk premium is 4 percent.
a. What is the stock’s beta?
Beta= (r
i
– r
rf

M

= 1
b. If the market risk premium increased to 6 percent, what would happen to the
stock’s required rate of return? Assume the risk-free rate and the beta remain
unchanged.

The required rate of return will increase to 13% from the initial 11%
