You can find estimates of stock betas by logging on to

finance.yahoo.com and looking at a

company's Statistics. Try comparing the stock betas of Alphabet $($GOOG$),$ The Home Depot

$($HD$),$ Procter & Gamble $($PG$),$ Altria Group $($MO$),$ and Caterpillar $($CAT$).$ Once you have read

Section $12\mathrm{.}3,$ use the capital asset pricing model to estimate the expected return for each of

these stocks. You will need a figure for the current Treasury bill rate. You can find this

on

www$.$treasury.gov $($look for the link to Data$).$ Assume for your estimates a market risk

premium of $7\%.$

Log on to

www$.$fidelity.com and look at the list of mutual funds that are managed by Fidelity.

Some of these funds, such as the Growth Strategies Fund, appear from their names to be high

risk. Others, such as the Balanced Fund, appear to be low risk. Pick several apparent high$-$ and

low$-$risk funds and then check whether their betas really do match the fund's name.
