Reference no: EM131079614
SFCC Global is a successful international education company. SFCC Global is about to move its online teaching from Canvas to another online platform. Venturing into this will cause the risk of the firm, as measured by beta, to increase immediately from 1.15 to 1.30. This is going to have an effect on the required return for the investment.

Remember that when beta = 0; the return is the risk free rate. When beta = 1; the return is the market return.
Using the data above, answer the following questions:
1. What are the required return and risk premium for SFCC Global using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), assuming a beta of 1.15?
2. What are the required return and risk premium for SFCC Global using the CAPM, assuming a beta of 1.30?
3. What are the required return and risk premium for SFCC Global using the CAPM, assuming a beta of 0.70?
4. What will be the effect on the required return if the beta rises?
5. Is the market predicting the beta to rise from 1.15 to 1.30 as reflected in the current yield and CAPM required return comparison?
