What is Risk Premium?

  • A risk premium is an additional risk required by a common stockholder in exchange for taking the additional risk of investing in that particular stock.
  • It denotes the distinction between market risk-return and risk-free return.

To find the rate of return:

The required market rate of return is calculated as follows:

Required return = Risk-free rate + (Beta × (Market return - Risk-free rate))

  • 11.75% = 2.3% + (1.23 × (Market return - 2.3%))
  • 1.23 × (Market return - 2.3%) = 11.75% - 2.3%
  • 1.23 × (Market return - 2.3%) = 9.45%
  • Market return - 2.3% = 7.68%
  • Market return = 7.68% + 2.3%
  • Market return = 9.98%

Therefore, the required rate of return on the market is 9.98%.
