How would your evaluation of the expected rates of return for Grace change if the risk-free rate were to rise to 2 percent and the market risk premium were to be only 8 percent? c. Which market risk premium scenario (from part a or b) best fits a recessionary environment? A period of economic expansion? Explain your response. a. The expected rate of return for security K, which has a beta of 1.12 , is \%. (Round to two decimal places.) The expected rate of return for security G, which has a beta of 1.26, is \%. (Round to two decimal places.) The expected rate of retum for security B, which has a beta of 0.87 , is \%. (Round to two decimal places.) The expected rate of retum for security U, which has a beta of 0.98 , is \%. (Round to two decimal places.) b. If the risk-free rate were to rise to 2% and the market risk premium were to be only 8%, the expected rate of return for security K is %. (Round to two decimal places.) If the nsk-tree rate were to nse to % and the market nsk premium were to ve oniy %, the expected rate or return ror security B is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
