This study investigates the effects of the market portfolio being unknown on the estimation of beta in the CAPM. Providing an analysis of the impact of using a proxy for the market portfolio when the market portfolio is known. This allows one to ask and answer 'if what' questions, such as...
Aswath Damodaran explains in aNew York University paperthat the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) postulates a linear relationship between the expected return for an asset and its beta – the slope of a linear regression. When an asset has a beta of zero, it changes independently of fluctuation...
The CAPM requires that you find certain inputs including:1 The risk-free rate (RFR) The stock's beta The expected market return Start with an estimate of the risk-free rate. You could use the yield to maturity (YTM) of a 10-year Treasury bill; let's say it's 4%. Next, take ...
The CAPM formula for the expected return of a stock is as follows: Expected Return = Risk-Free Rate (Rf) + (Beta (β) × Equity Risk Premium (ERP)) Given the Greek letters and acronyms, this looks more difficult than it is. Here's a breakdown of each part of the equation: Rf: T...

Calculate the cost of equity (Re). It is the return shareholders require based on the company’s equity riskiness. One commonly used method to calculate Re is the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), which considers the risk-free rate, the market risk premium, and the company’s beta. ...
