Question
Which of the following best describes the role of the
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in determining the required return on an asset in the capital market ?Solution
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) estimates the required return on an asset by considering the systematic risk (beta) of the asset relative to the market . It uses the risk-free rate (such as the return on government bonds) and the market risk premium (the return expected from the market above the risk-free rate). This model assumes investors are rational and markets are efficient, helping investors make decisions based on the expected return given the asset's risk.
