The CAPM formula is used for calculating the expected returns of an asset.
- Expected return = Risk Free Rate + [Beta x Market Return Premium]
- Expected return = 2.5% + [1.25 x 7.5%]
- Expected return = 11.9%
How is CAPM calculated?
In layman's terms, the CAPM formula is: Expected return of the investment = the risk-free rate + the beta (or risk) of the investment * the expected return on the market – the risk free rate (the difference between the two is the market risk premium).
How is equity calculated in CAPM?
Using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to determine its cost of equity financing, you would apply Cost of Equity = Risk-Free Rate of Return + Beta × (Market Rate of Return – Risk-Free Rate of Return) to reach 1 + 1.1 × (10-1) = 10.9%.
