Characterizing Risk and Return * Question 1: * Proficient-level: "How do Cornett, Adair, and Nofsinger define risk in the M: Finance textbook and how is it measured?" (Cornett, Adair, & Nofsinger, 2016). Risk is defined as the volatility of an asset’s returns over time. Specifically, the standard deviation of returns is used to measure risk. This computation measures the deviation from the average return. The idea is to use standard deviation, a measure of volatility of past returns to proxy

Beta (β) and Stock Returns - An Analysis of Select Companies I INTRODUCTION During the past three decades, CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) has been studied in great depth and is used as the standard risk-return model by various researchers and academicians. The basic premise of CAPM is that the stocks with a higher beta yield higher returns for the investors. One of the conditions stipulated in the model is that the said return should be higher than the return of the risk-free asset. But

The case gave a table that had the rate or return under certain conditions and from that we found the expected returns, standard deviations, and coefficients of variations for the assets. For the expected returns we took the probability and multiplied that by the rate of return for each type of economy, and then added them all up. To get standard deviation you must first calculate the variance. For that we took the rate of return minus expected return, squared that difference, multiplied that by
