Question

Calculate the required rate of return for Avy Inc., assuming that the company has a beta of 1.10, while investors expect treasury bills to be yielding 3.0%, with a market risk premium is 5.0%.

Answer 1

Answer:

8.5%

Explanation:

Avy incorporation has a beta of 1.10

The risk free rate is 3.0%

The market risk premium is 5.0%

Therefore, the required rate of return can be calculated as follows

Required rate of return= Risk-free rate+beta(market Risk premium)

= 3.0% + 1.10(5.0%)

= 3.0%+5.5

= 8.5%

Hence the required rate of return is 8.5%
