Distingush between systematic and unsystematic risks which is often regarded as the only relevant risk and why?
It is the risk which is due to the factors which are beyond the control of the people working in the market and that's why risk free rate of return in used to just compensate this type of risk in market. This is the risk other than systematic risk and which is due to the factors which are controllable by the people working in market and market risk premium is used to compensate this type of risk. Total Risk = Systematic risk + Unsystematic Risk As systematic risk is beyond the control of people working in market that;s why it is defenately not the relevent risk because anything not controllable is irrelevant and that's why unsystematic risk is the relevant risk because it is in the control of investor to in which security to invest or not.
If the required rate of return is 11 the risk free rate is 7 and the market risk premium is 4 If the market risk premium increased to 6 percent what would happen to the stocks required rate of return?

How should the measure of risk of an asset be interpreted?
Risk is necessary in the investment world. The absolute measure of risk is the standard deviation which is a statistical measure of dispersion. The distribution curve shows how much an asset can deviate from its expected outcome.
What is the risk-free rate if the expected return is 20.4 and beta is 1.6 and expected market return is 15?
expected market return = risk free + beta*(market return - risk free) So by putting in values: 20.4 = rf+ 1.6(15-rf) expected market return = risk free + beta*(market return - risk free) So by putting in values: 20.4 = rf+ 1.6(15-rf) where rf = risk free 20.4 - 24 = rf - 1.6rf -3.6 = -0.6rf rf = 6
If stock beta is 1.2 the risk free rate is 4 and market rate of return is 14 what is the market risk premium?
I'm going to assume that you mean the risk free rate is 4%, or 0.04, and the market rate of return is 14%, or .14. If that is the case, then we solve: Market Rate of Return = (Risk Free Rate) + Beta * (Market Risk Premium) 0.14 = 0.04 + 1.2 * MRP 0.1 = 1.2 * MRP 0.1 / 1.2 = MRP 0.08333... = MRP The Market Risk Premium would be approximately 8.33% This is an example of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, or CAPM.
What risk is measured by beta?
A measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole.
Which of the following is the most relevant measure of risk for capital budgeting purposes?
Market risk is theoretically the most relevant measure of risk for capital budgeting purposes because it is reflected in stock prices.
The market risk premium is measured by?
The market risk premium is measured by the market return less risk-free rate. You can calculate the market risk premium as market risk premium is equal to the expected return of the market minus the risk-free rate.
What are some of the different market risks?
There are many different market risks. Some different market risks are systematic risk, credit risk, country risk, political risk, market risk, interest rate risk and many more.
What is another term for market risk?
another term for market risk is non-diversifiable risk.
What is the difference between systematic risk and unsystematic risk?
It is the risk in financial market or in market general which exists due to factors which are beyond the control of humans or the people working in market and that;s why risk free rate use in market is only exists there to protect the investors from that systemetic risk. This is the risk other than systematic risk and which is due to factors directly controllable by the people dealing in market and market risk premium rate is paid due to compensate this type of unsystematic risk in market. Total Risk = Systematic Risk + Unsystematic Risk
What is a market risk when entering into a derivative contract?
Market Risk. This is the potential financial loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a derivative. Market risk encompasses legal risk, control risk, and accounting risk.
What is a BETA number?
A beta number is a calculayion that helps to measure the level of risk in investing a stock by comparing its growth with that of the overall market.
How interpret the market risk of a security?
a security's risk is divided into systematic (Market risk) and Unsystematic risk (Diversifiable risk), the market risk is the risk inherent to the security, it is attributed to macro economic factors such as inflation, war etc. and affects all securities in the market and so cannot be diversified away. Market risk of a security is measured and reflected by the Beta coefficientwhich is an index that measures the security's volatility to market movements i.e. how much the returns of the security will vary if their changes in the market
Is it correct that Sensitivity is the an absolute measure of risk?
Sensitivity is the an absolute measure of risk
Distinguish between systematic and unsystematic risks?

This is the risk other than systematic risk and which is due to the factors which are controllable by the people working in market and market risk premium is used to compensate this type of risk. Total Risk = Systematic risk + Unsystematic Risk
How do you measure the risk of a single asset?
The total risk of a single asset is measured by the standard deviation of return on asset. Standard deviation is the square root of variance. To measure variance, you must have some distribution/ possibility of asset returns. However, the relevant risk of a single asset is the systematic risk, not the total risk. Systematic risk is the risk that cannot be diversified away in a portfolio. Systematic risk of an asset is measured by the Beta. Beta can be found using Regression (between market return and asset's return) or Covariance formula.
