Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When investors seek their rightful prize
They need to know what risk implies
Three pillars hold the golden gate
Risk-free returns that never break
Plus beta's swing with market tides
And premiums where danger hides

[Chorus]
CAPM equation's burning clear
Cost equals risk-free plus beta here
Times market premium minus safe
Remember: R equals R-F plus beta-weight
Times bracket M-R minus R-F rate
Three pieces solve the equity fate

[Verse 2]
Treasury bonds at ten-year span
Give risk-free rates across the land
While beta measures stock's wild dance
Against the market's broad expanse
If beta's one, you move in sync
Above means volatility's brink

[Chorus]
CAPM equation's burning clear
Cost equals risk-free plus beta here
Times market premium minus safe
Remember: R equals R-F plus beta-weight
Times bracket M-R minus R-F rate
Three pieces solve the equity fate

[Bridge]
Market return exceeds the safe
That spread's the premium investors crave
Multiply beta by this gap
Add risk-free rate to close the trap
Conservative stocks with beta low
Demand less return, their premiums slow

[Verse 3]
Aggressive stocks with beta high
Command more compensation, that's no lie
The model weighs systematic threat
While firm-specific risks are met
Through diversification's shield
But market risk will never yield

[Chorus]
CAPM equation's burning clear
Cost equals risk-free plus beta here
Times market premium minus safe
Remember: R equals R-F plus beta-weight
Times bracket M-R minus R-F rate
Three pieces solve the equity fate

[Outro]
Cost of equity crystal plain
Risk-free plus market's risky gain
Times beta's systematic score
CAPM opens valuation's door
