Risk, Return and the Capital Budget
This chapter introduces the quantitative techniques used to estimate the required returns on equity.
It also establishes the relationship between market risk and the relative riskiness of the firm.

Measuring Market Risk
Market Portfolio - Portfolio of all assets in the economy.
Beta - Sensitivity of a stock’s return to the return on the market portfolio.
1212--44
Measuring Beta: ExampleExample – The Fosterhouse Gourmet Foods corporation has the following % returns on its stock, relative to the listed changes in the % return on the market portfolio. Its beta (β) can be derived from this information.
Month * Market Return % Fosterhouse Return %
1 +1 +1.8
2 -1 +1.6
3 +1 +0.2
4 +1 -0.8
5 -1 +0.0
6 -1 -2.8
* The returns are expressed as percentages, though the results will be identical if expressed as decimals.
1212--55
Measuring Beta: Example (ctd)
.4% ( .4%) .8%.4
1% ( 1%) 2%
When the market was up 1%, Fosterhouse Corporation’s average percent change was +.4%.
When the market was down 1%, Fosterhouse Corporation’s average percent change was -.4%.
The change of .8% (-.4% to .4%) divided by the 2% (-1.0% to 1.0%) change in the market produces a beta of .4.

Stock Betas for Common Stocks(May 2005 - April 2010)
What factors contribute to the variation in these
betas?
1212--88
Total Risk and Market Risk
Recall that total risk is a combination of unique risk and market risk.
What are the effects of diversification on unique risk and market risk?
1212--99
Portfolio Beta The beta of your portfolio will be an average of the betas of
the securities in the portfolio.
What would be the average beta if you owned all of the S&P Composite Index stocks?
What is the beta of the risk-free return, U.S. Treasury Bills?

Portfolio Beta: ExampleExample – Calculate the beta of a portfolio that consists of 25% Ford, 25% Boeing, and 50% McDonald’s.
Company Beta Weight Beta×Weight
Ford 2.53 .25 .63
Boeing 1.28 .25 .32
McDonald's .62 .50 .31Portfolio Beta = 1.26

Project Risk and theSecurity Market Line
Which should be used to assess the value of a proposed project?
• Company Cost of Capital: Expected rate of return demanded by investors in a company, determined by the average risk of the company’s securities
• Project Cost of Capital: Minimum acceptable expected rate of return on a project given its risk.

1.Operating Leverage and Project Risk
2.The presence of non-diversifiable risk
