Question 1
estimate your required rate of return on an investment in UPS Company
using the Securities Market Line (SML).
You have looked up the current risk-free rate of return, which is 1%. Given the numerous disruptive events going on in the world and in the markets, you estimate the market risk premium to be 5.5%. Lulusoft’s most recent beta estimate is 1.50.
Required:
Show calculations for UPS's required rate of return given this information.
Explain in your own words how the SML would change if the risk-free rate were to rise to 3%.
Independent of the change in part b, explain in your own words how the SML would change if the market risk premium fell to 3%.
If UPS’s beta dropped to 1.39 six months from now, would its required rate of return rise or fall? Explain.
