Answer:

(2.2%)

Explanation:

Ra=?

Rf=4%

Rm=12%

Ba=1.4

Ra=Rf+(Rm-Rf)Ba

Ra=.04+(.12-.04)*1.4

Ra=.04+.112

Ra=15.2%

Alpha of the security=Expected return-CAPM return

                                   =13%-15.2%=(2.2%)

Therefore security is overpriced

Answer:

Alpha is 2.20%

Explanation:

The formula for Alpha=Actual rate of return-Expected rate of return

Expected rate of return is 0.13 or 13%

Actual rate of return can be deduced from the below formula in Capital Asset Pricing Model

Actual rate of return=Rf+Beta*(Market expected rate of return-Rf)

Beta is 1.4

Rf is the risk free rate of return of 0.04 or 4%

Market expected rate of return  is 0.12 or 12%

Actual rate of return =4%+1.4*(12%-4%)

                                  =4%+(1.4*8%)

                                  =4%+11.2%

                                  =15.2%

Alpha=15.2%-13%=2.20%
