Investors expect the market rate of return this year to be 15.00%. The expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.3 is currently 19.50%. If the market return this year turns out to be 12.80%, how would you revise your expectation of the rate of return on the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

    Expectation of rate of return on the stock is 16.64%

    Explanation:

    Ke=Rf+beta (Mrp-Rf)

    Rf is unknown

    Mrp is 15%

    Ke is 19.5%

    beta is 1.3

    19.5%=Rf+1.3 (15%-Rf)

    19.5%=Rf+19.5%-1.3Rf

    19-5%-19.5%=Rf-1.3Rf

    0%=-0.3Rf

    Rf=0%/-0.3

    Rf=0%

    By substituting the value of Rf in the original formula, we can now calculate Ke when Mrp is 12.80%, beta is 1.3 Rf is 0%

    Ke=0%+1.3 (12.80%-0%)

    Ke=0%+16.64%+0%

    Ke=16.64%
