The main components of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in capital budgeting are the risk-free rate, the beta of the investment, and the expected market return. The risk-free rate is the return on a risk-free investment, such as a government bond. The beta of the investment measures the investment's volatility compared to the market as a whole. The expected market return is the average return of the market. The CAPM formula uses these components to calculate the expected return on an investment given its risk relative to the market.

This might lead you to invest in Microsoft because of the volatility of Tesla, for example.
