Measuring Market Risk
Market Portfolio - Portfolio of all assets in the economy
In practice a broad stock market index is used to represent the market
Beta - Sensitivity of a stock’s return to the return on the market portfolio

Measuring Market Risk
Example
Turbot Charged Seafood has the following % returns on its stock, relative to the listed changes in the % return on the market portfolio. The beta of Turbot Charged Seafood can be derived from this information.

Measuring Market Risk
Example — (continued)
| Month | Market Return % | Turbot Return % |
| 1 | +1 | +0.8 |
| 2 | +1 | +1.8 |
| 3 | +1 | −0.2 |
| 4 | −1 | −1.8 |
| 5 | −1 | +0.2 |
| 6 | −1 | −0.8 |

Measuring Market Risk
When the market was up 1%, Turbot average % change was +0.8%
When the market was down 1%, Turbot average % change was -0.8%
The average change of 1.6 % (-0.8 to 0.8) divided by the 2% (-1.0 to 1.0) change in the market produces a beta of 0.8

Portfolio Betas
Diversification decreases variability from unique risk, but not from market risk
The beta of your portfolio will be an average of the betas of the securities in the portfolio
If you owned all of the S&P Composite Index stocks, you would have an average beta of 1.0

Expected Return (%)
Measuring Market Risk
CAPM - Theory of the relationship between risk and return which states that the expected risk premium on any security equals its beta times the market risk premium
Market risk premium = rm − rf
Risk premium on any asset = r − rf
Expected return = rf + β(rm − rf)
12- ‹#›

Measuring Market Risk
Example
The return on the stock market is 10% and he risk free rate of return is 3%. What is the risk premium for a stock that has a beta of 0.5? What is the expected return of the stock?
Market risk premium = rm − rf = .10 − .03 = .07
Risk premium on any asset = r − rf = .5 × .07 = .035
Expected return = rf + β(rm − rf) = .03 + .035 = .065

Capital Budgeting & Project Risk
The project cost of capital depends on the use to which the capital is being put
Therefore, it depends on the risk of the project and not the risk of the company
Company cost of capital
Opportunity cost of capital for investment in the firm as a whole
The company cost of capital is the appropriate discount rate for an average-risk investment project undertaken by the firm

Example
Based on the CAPM, ABC Company has a cost of capital of 17%. [4 + 1.3(10)]. A breakdown of the company’s investment projects is listed below. When evaluating a new dog food production investment, which cost of capital should be used?
1/3 nuclear parts mfr. β = 2.0
1/3 computer hard drive mfr. β = 1.3
1/3 dog food production β = 0.6
Average β of assets = 1.3

Example
Based on the CAPM, ABC Company has a cost of capital of 17%. [4 + 1.3(10)]. A breakdown of the company’s investment projects is listed below. When evaluating a new dog food production investment, which cost of capital should be used?
r = 4 + 0.6(14 - 4) = 10%
10% reflects the opportunity cost of capital on an investment given the unique risk of the project
