Questions and Answers

In the regression equation ri,t rf = g0 + g1 (rM,t rf ) + g2 SM Bt + ei,t, if the CAPM is true, what would you expect the estimated coefficient g1 to represent?

  • None of the answers are correct
  • The risk-free rate
  • The size factor
  • The market risk premium (correct)
  • The average return on small size firms
  • If a single index model has been estimated for stocks A and B with the following results: $rA,t rf = 0.01 + 0.6(rM,t rf) + eA,t$, $rB,t rf = 0.02 + 0.9(rM,t rf) + eB,t$. Also, SD measures of $rM$, $eA$, and $eB$ are 0.25, 0.1, and 0.2, respectively. What is the covariance between the returns on stocks A and B?

  • 0.0050
  • None of the answers are correct
  • 0.0525
  • 0.1920
  • 0.0338 (correct)
  • In the context of the single index model, if the coefficient of the market return for stock A is 0.6 and the standard deviation of the market return is 0.25, what does the coefficient value imply?

  • Stock A has a higher average return than the market
  • Stock A is less sensitive to market movements (correct)
  • Stock A is more sensitive to market movements
  • None of the answers are correct
  • Stock A has a lower average return than the market
  • If the CAPM is true, what would you expect the estimated coefficient g2 in the regression equation $ri,t rf = g0 + g1 (rM,t rf) + g2 SM Bt + ei,t$ to represent?
