Introduction
8
The CAPM as a model is used for calculating the expected returns by 3 out of 4
financial managers. In case where a firm’s capital structure involves equity
capital, expected returns have a bearing on the cost of capital.
Recent research indicates that actual return may differ greatly from the returns
predicted by CAPM model. CAPM uses market risk premium for estimating the
expected returns. Recent research indicates that the true market risk premium
may differ greatly from market risk premium used in CAPM model. As a result of
result of which wrong cost of capital may be estimated.

Purpose of the Study:
CAPM i.e Capital Asset Pricing Model is widely used tool for estimating the
expected returns. This research aims to check that up to what extent returns
predicted through CAPM matches the actual returns.
To see what could be the probable reasons if the above two vary.

Framework
12
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
The CAPM establishes a linear relationship between the required rate of return on a
security and its systematic or non-diversifiable risk as measured by Beta.
Mathematically, it is represented as
kj= Rf + (km- Rf)
where kj is the required rate of return on the security, km is the return on market portfolio,
and Rf is the risk free rate of return.
The term (km- Rf) indicates the risk premium on the security and the term (km- Rf)
5. All individuals assume that they can buy assets at the going market price and
they all agree on the nature of risk and returns associated with each investment.
13
The CAPM model can be graphically represented by the security market line.
• Any individual’s expected return and beta should lie on the SML.
If the expected rate of return on a security is greater than the required rate of return, it
indicates that the security is undervalued because its average return is high for the level of
risk it bears. Such a stock lies above the SML.
14
-If the expected rate of return is less than the required rate of return then the security is
over-valued. Such a stock is unattractive as it is expected to produce a rate of return lower
than the stocks with similar betas and it lies below the SML.
-The above two categories of stocks should move towards equilibrium by going through a
temporary price adjustment. The expected return on the security is computed as:
Assuming that Betas remain the same, the expected return of the undervalued stock has
to be brought down to be equal to the required rate of return by increasing the purchase
price of the security.
Similarly for the overpriced security, the purchase price of the security has to be brought
down so that its expected rate of return rises and becomes equal to its required rate of
return.
Concept of return
When an asset is bought, the gain (or loss) from that investment is called the return on
investment.
It is the major factor that motivates an investor to invest in an asset. Assessing the return
of an asset is important because of the following reasons:
15
Realized return (or ex-post) is the return that was realized or could have been realized
from an asset whereas expected return is the return that an investor expects to earn over
some time in future. Expected return is affected by uncertainty
Components of return
1. The income component or yield: The cash that the investor receives while
he owns an investment is called the income component. For e.g. the dividend that
the equity-holders get when they own a company’s shares constitutes the income
component.
the stock during the year and Pt-1 is the price of the stock at the beginning of the year.
(Note: In case of bonds or debenture, Dt will represent coupon payments).
2. The capital gain (or loss): The value of the asset that an investor has will
often change; and depending upon the increase (or decrease) in the value of an
asset there will be a capital gain (or loss).
16
•
Measurement of returns
• The total percentage return is measured as the sum of the dividend yield and
the capital gain yield
The future returns are characterized by uncertainty. Whenever the probabilities associated
with various possible returns are known, then the expected return can be computed as the
weighted average of the various returns, the weights being the probabilities associated
with the returns.
where Pi is the probability associated with the ith outcome and ki is the rate of return from
the ith possible outcome.
17
Concept of risk
• Risk can be defined as the variability in the actual return emanating from a project in
future over its working life, in relation to the estimated return that was forecasted at
the time of selecting the project. The greater the variability between the actual and
estimated return, the more risky is the project.
• The financial decisions of the firm are inter-related and jointly affect the market value
of its shares by influencing the return and risk of the firm. The relationship between
return and risk can be simply expressed as:Return = Risk-free rate + Risk premium
• A proper balance between return and risk should be maintained to maximize the
market value of a firm’s shares. Such a balance is called risk-return trade off. The
finance manager, in a bid to maximize the shareholder’s wealth should strive to
maximize returns in relation to the given risk and should seek courses of actions that
avoid unnecessary risks.
Sources of risk
1. Interest rate risk: Variability in security’s return due to changes in the level of
interest rates. The price of a security moves inversely to the changes in interest
rates. Hence if there is a rise in the interest rate, the price of the security will fall.
2. Market rate risk: Variability in the security’s return due to fluctuations in the
securities market. This risk arises as a result of factors that affect the entire
economy, e.g recession, war etc.
18
3. Inflation risk: The reduction in the purchasing power of money due to rise in
inflation is referred to as inflation risk. Inflation risk directly affects the interest rate
risk as the interest rates increase with rise in inflation.
5. Financial risk: It is the risk arising due to the use of debt financing (i.e.
financial leverage). It can also be defined as the variability in the return on equity
and earnings per share of the firm due to increase in financial leverage.
6. Liquidity risk: It is the risk associated with the secondary market in which the
security is traded. Securities like treasury bills which can be sold without a
significant price concession are considered to be more liquid.
Measurement of risk
The degree of uncertainty involved can be analyzed using the measures of dispersion.
19
Let ki be the rate of return associated with the ith possible outcome and Pi be the
corresponding probability and be the mean return, then the standard deviation for the
security can be computed as:
The greater the standard deviation of a probability distribution, the greater is the
dispersion or the variability of the outcomes around the expected (mean) value.
Graphically, a distribution having a wider normal distribution indicates greater risk.
Portfolio risk:
The risk (as measured by standard deviation) of the portfolio is not a simple weighted
average of the risk of the individual securities in it; the portfolio’s risk will be smaller than
the weighted average of the standard deviations of the assets.
The basic formula for computing the standard deviation of an n-security portfolio is:
is the correlation coefficient between the ith and the jth security.
20
Risks Affecting a Portfolio:
The total risk in the case of an individual security can be divided into two parts:
• The company is not able to obtain adequate quantity of raw material from the
supplier.
21
• The inflation rate increases.
Note: Since the systematic risk present in an asset cannot be eliminated by diversification,
the expected return on a risky asset depends only on that asset’s systematic risk. As
unsystematic risk can be eliminated by diversification, there is no reward for bearing it
i. Diversification reduces only the unsystematic risk whereas the systematic risk remains
constant.
ii. Beyond a certain point, the diversifying effect of each additional stock diminishes due to
increase in the positive correlation between the assets.
22
Beta: A measure of systematic risk
Beta measures the relative risk associated with an individual portfolio as measured in
relation to the risk of the market portfolio.
The Market Portfolio represents the most diversified portfolio of risky assets an investor
could buy since it includes all risky assets.
The expected return and the risk premium on an asset depend only on its systematic risk.
Since assets with larger betas have greater systematic risks, they will have greater
expected returns.
If Beta is greater than 1, it indicates that the stock is more risky when compared to the
market portfolio.
If beta is less than 1, then it indicates that the security is less risky than the market
portfolio.
Beta of a Portfolio: The beta of a portfolio is a weighted average of the beta of the
individual securities, where the weights represent the proportion of the individual securities
in the portfolio.

Literature Review
24
It was tried to investigate the appropriateness of CAPM model for calculating
expected returns and the cost of equity capital. The results indicated that the
expected returns predicted by CAPM model may vary greatly from actual
returns due to market risk premium.
This research paper explains why the cost of capital may not be a critical input
based on the theory of real options. Further it extends the analysis to
continuous time and demonstrates that, when the firm has substantial real
options, the project selection decision will be near optimal even when the wrong
cost of capital is used.

Methodology
Study Design
b) Study population: population is the entire stocks and all indices of all the countries.
c) Sampling frame: Sampling Frame would be 70 stocks of Indian companies choosen from
CNX Nifty for individual stock returns and Sensex for market return.
d) Sample: Sample chosen is monthly average values of 70 stocks and monthly average
values of Sensex.
e) Sampling technique: Deliberate sampling is used because only particular units are
selected from the sampling frame. Such a selection is undertaken as these units
represent the population in a better way and reflect better relationship with the other
variable.
27
Data: Historical monthly average share prices and Historical monthly average values of
Sensex.
Data Source: Historical share prices of the sample companies and the index points for the
period has been taken from the database of Capital Market Publishers (India) Ltd.,
Sensex has been taken because CNX Nifty and BSE Sensex are considered as trust
worthy indices of India, to see whether both the indices move in the same direction or not.

A BRIEF PROCESS SUMMARY:
First of all the monthly average prices data for 70 stocks were taken from capitaline for the
period of 6 years starting from 2001 to 2006. Same was done for Sensex also. Now total
period was divided into two parts as follows:
Estimation period: In this period the log natural of all stocks and Sensex was taken for
the purpose of calculating beta also the return of the market.
Beta for each stock was calculated by regressing the stock returns on market returns.
Testing period: in this period the average return for each stock was caculated through
log naturals and these average returns were regressed on betas calculated under
estimating period.
How to check whether CAPM holds true or not- The final regression results (in testing
period) provides with 3 important values. Which are intercept, x variable and t statistic.
Here intercept should be equal to risk free rate of return (Rf during estimation period).
Which has been around 6-6.5%. The x variable should be equal to Rm-Rf during
estimation period.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION:
Now it is clear from the above summary output that intercept does not match to risk free
rate of return as well as x variable also does not match to Rm-Rf. Hence it can be said as
per this study that CAPM does not hold true. In other words expected returns as
calculated by CAPM model does not match to actual returns.
If we see the test statistic in the above summary output, then also we can say that it is not
significant at 5% level of significance.
