A small company has a cost of equity of 12.5%. The risk-free rate is 4.2%,
the market risk premium is 5.0%, and the company's stock has a beta of
1.2. Has any small company "size premium" been assigned?
A) No
,B) Yes, the premium is .85%
C) Yes, the premium is 1.25%
D) Yes, the premium is 2.30%
Verified Answer -D) Yes, the premium is 2.30%
Without a size premium, the cost of equity would be 4.2% + (1.2 x 5.0%)
= 10.2%. But we know the cost of equity is 12.5%, so the difference
(12.5% - 10.2% = 2.30%) must be caused by the size premium.

A stock has an expected return of 5.5% and a Beta of .80. By how much
will the excess return of the stock change if the excess return of the S&P
500 falls by 1%?
A) It will fall by 1.2%
, B) It will rise by 1.2%
C) It will fall by .8%
D) It will rise by .8%
Verified Answer -C) It will fall by .8%
Excess return = expected return above risk-free rate. The expected return of
any stock will change by an amount equal to the expected return change
of the market portfolio (S&P 500) multiplied by the stock's Beta. A 1%
decline in expected return in the S&P 500 will cause the stock to decline by
1% x .8 = .8%.
