According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (i.e., CAPM), if Rf = risk free interest rate, Rm = Expected return on the market portfolio, b = beta, and E(Ra) = expected return on stock a:Question 1 options:E(Ra) = Rf + (Rm - Rf)E(Ra) = Rf - b(Rm - Rf)E(Ra) = bRf + (Rm - Rf)E(Ra) = Rf + b(Rm - Rf)None of the above is a correct specification of the CAPM.If the yield to maturity decreased 1 percentage point, which of the following bonds would have the largest percentage increase in value?Question 2 options:A 1-year bond with an 8 percent coupon.A 1-year zero-coupon bond.A 10-year zero-coupon bond.A 10-year bond with an 8 percent coupon.A 10-year bond with a 12 percent coupon.All else constant, if the yield to maturity increases, the price of fixed coupon bond will:Question 3 options:increasedecreaseremain unchangedeither increase or decrease depending on the par value of the bondeither increase or decrease depending on the coupon rate of the bondThe government of Mont-Ecar-Low issued a $1,000 par value bond with a coupon rate of $150 per year, but this bond would not mature for 1,000,000,000,000 years.
