 After studying Chapter 5,
you should be able to:
1. Understand the relationship (or “trade-off”) between risk and return.
2. Define risk and return and show how to measure them by calculating
expected return, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.
3. Discuss the different types of investor attitudes toward risk.
4. Explain risk and return in a portfolio context, and distinguish between
individual security and portfolio risk.
5. Distinguish between avoidable (unsystematic) risk and unavoidable
(systematic) risk and explain how proper diversification can eliminate one
of these risks.
6. Define and explain the capital-asset pricing model (CAPM), beta, and the
characteristic line.
7. Calculate a required rate of return using the capital-asset pricing model
(CAPM).
8. Demonstrate how the Security Market Line (SML) can be used to describe
this relationship between expected rate of return and systematic risk.
9. Explain what is meant by an “efficient financial market” and describe the
three levels (or forms) of market efficiency.

Unsystematic Risk is the variability of return

Model (CAPM)
(CAPM)
CAPM is a model that describes the
relationship between risk and
expected (required) return; in this
model, a security’s expected
(required) return is the risk-free rate
plus a premium based on the
systematic risk of the security.

1. Capital markets are efficient.
2. Homogeneous investor expectations

3. Risk-free asset return is certain
(use short- to intermediate-term
Treasuries as a proxy).
4. Market portfolio contains only
systematic risk (use S&P 500 Index
or similar as a proxy).

 Calculating “Beta”
on Your Calculator
using Regression line
• Assume that the previous continuous
distribution problem represents the “excess
returns” of the market portfolio (it may still be
in your calculator data worksheet – 2nd Data ).
• Enter the excess market returns as “X”
observations of: 9.6%, –15.4%, 26.7%, –0.2%,
20.9%, 28.3%, –5.9%, 3.3%, 12.2%, and 10.5%.
• Enter the excess stock returns as “Y” observations
of: 12%, –5%, 19%, 3%, 13%, 14%, –9%, –1%,
12%, and 10%.
5.28 Van Horne and Wachowicz, Fundamentals of Financial Management, 13th edition. © Pearson Education Limited 2009. Created by Gregory Kuhlemeyer.
 Calculating “Beta”
on Your Calculator
• Let us examine again the statistical
results (Press 2nd and then Stat )
• The market expected return and standard
deviation is 9% and 13.32%. Your stock
expected return and standard deviation is 6.8%
and 8.76%.
• The regression equation is Y= a + bX. Thus,
our characteristic line is Y = 1.4448 + 0.595 X
and indicates that our stock has a beta of 0.595.
