Beta Value (Calculated Beta on the 6 days value of the stocks and NYSE Index):
PPG: 24/3/2009 25/3/2009 26/3/2009 27/3/2009 30/3/2009 31/3/2009 Beta = 0.17697 Stock Price 36.88 38.71 36.8 36.87 36.9 36.9 NYSE Index 5064.33 5127 5230 5096.64 4899.05 4978.98

Expected Return using CAPM (Capital Asset Planning Model):
Risk Free Rate = Rf: 0.58% (Government Bond Rate for 1 year) Beta = B: 1.03 (Taking the market Beta Value) Beta = 0.001280 Risk Premium = (Rm – Rf): 7%

Expected Return

= Rf + B(Rm – Rf) = 0.0058 + 1.03(0.07) = 0.0779 or 7.79 %

(Beta Value as calculated) = 0.0058 + 0.1769(0.07) = 0.01818 or 1.818% The expected rate of return taking Beta (B) as per the market value is 7.79 % which is considerable as per the today’s conditions and the return taking the calculated beta of 6 days of the share movement with the NYSE index is 1.818% which is very low as per the conditions in the actual market. So taking the market value of the beta the expected return is good and can be considered. Also the movement of the shares goes along with the market with less of risk.
