3.13 Diagram of the CAPM

3.13 Diagram of the CAPM In order to diagram the “CAPM,” let us devise an example. Suppose you are given the following: RM = .20 RF = .05 βP= 1.5 Then, RP = RF + (RM – RF) βP RP = (.05) + (.20 – .05) 1.5 = .275 In this case, you have chosen a stock with greater volatility than the market, and your risk premium will provide a greater return as well. Just beware that risk also means that your expected return is not assured in the short-run and that, in the long-run, things may change so as to alter the formula’s inputs. Life is not so simple. Now we can graph this (try to fill this in): See the next page for more insight.
