CAPM ANALYSIS: The Case of AMBUJA CEMENTS LIMITED in Bombay Stock Exchange
The free-float method, therefore, does not include restricted stocks, such as those held by promoters, government and strategic investors. Initially, the index was calculated based on the full market capitalization method. However this was shifted to the free float method with effect from September 1, 2003. Globally, the free float market capitalization is regarded as the industry best-practice. As per free float capitalization methodology, the level of index at any point of time reflects the free float market value of 30 component stocks relative to a base period. The market capitalization of a company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company. This market capitalization is multiplied by a free float factor to determine the free float market capitalization. Free float factor is also referred as adjustment factor. Free float factor represent the percentage of shares that are readily available for trading. The calculation of SENSEX involves dividing the free float market capitalization of 30 companies in the index by a number called index divisor. The divisor is the only link to original base period value of the SENSEX. It keeps the index comparable over time and is the adjustment point for all index adjustments arising out of corporate actions, replacement of scrips, etc. Assumptions: Sample selection: ITC Ltd. is selected as the company for the calculation of the systematic risk. BSE sensex is considered as the market index to calculate the unsystematic risk. Data selection: The study covers the period from April 1, 1998 to March 31, 2011. The stock values are taken from the mentioned time period. The data has been collected from the PROWESS (CMIE) database. Returns calculated using a longer time period might result in changes of Beta over the examined period introducing biases in beta estimates. Hence, in order to obtain better estimates of the value of the beta coefficient, it includes daily stock values. The consecutive repetitive values in the sensex data has been deleted for better analysis. The Rf Value for the year 2010-2011 is assumed to be 8.5.
Methodology:
Ke = Rf (Rm -Rf ) Where, Ke is the expected return on the capital asset, Rf is the rate of return on a risk-free asset, Rm is the rate of return on the market index, is the slope i.e., the measure of unsystematic risk.

R average daily return E 2 T U R 0 N ` ` -2 ` ` YEAR ` The` values of the risk and return of the AMBUJA CEMENTS Ltd. and the BSE sensex is ` plotted on the graph by taking time period in years on x-axis and the return and risk values ` on the y-axis. ` Inference: From this graph it is understood that the BSE risk and return have been gradually ` changing from the period 1997-2012. It can be observed that the market risk is higher at some ` point of time i.e. in 1998-1999, 2005-2006, 2004-2005 and in the year 2009-2010. We also ` observe that the company risk also has been at peaks in the years 2005-06 with steep increase and `then decreased sharply. we can understand that the company return has remained almost ` unchanged from the period of 2001-2002 whereas the CAPM return has showed a range of ` variations in the value of return. The CAPM return was found to be the maximum in the year ` 2001-02, after that it has steeply decreasing till 2005-06 and then gradually rising till 200809. ` Further it decreased till 2010-11. ` ` Conclusion: The` findings are not in the support of the CAPM model, as the basic hypothesis of CAPM is that` higher level of Risk (Beta) is associated with the higher level of return. The CAPM was
not perfectly accurate; it still provides a legitimate explanation that expected return is proportional to their systematic risk and the expected excess return to the market. The inaccuracies in this and other empirical tests can be improved with better proxies for the market and the risk free rate and better econometric techniques.
