What is a characteristic line? How is this line used to estimate a stocks beta coefficient? Write out and explain the formula that relates total risk, market risk, and diversifiable risk.
Which of the following is TRUE? To construct a capital market line, we use expected return as y-axis and beta as x-axis On the capital market line debt securities are located to the right of the market portfolio To construct a security market line, we use expected return as y-axis and beta as x-axis Market portfolio lays at an intersection of the average indifference curve of a risk-averse investor and the efficient portfolio
The higher a security's risk, the higher the return investors demand, and thus the less they are willing to pay for the investment. What do you understand from the statement mentioned above? Explain with necessary numerical data, and illustrate by means of a chart.
You have a portfolio that is equally invested in Stock F with a beta of 1.15, Stock G with a beta of 1.52, and the risk-free asset. What is the beta of your portfolio? How do I solve this?
Construct a plausible graph that shows risk (asmeasured by portfolio standard deviation) on thex-axis and expected rate of return on the y-axis.Now add an illustrative feasible (or attainable) setof portfolios and show what portion of the feasibleset is efficient. What makes a particular portfolioefficient? Don’t worry about specific values whenconstructing the graph—merely illustrate howthings look with “reasonable” data
Suppose all investors use the market perceptions of risk and expected return and are thus using the same set of efficient portfolios. 1-Draw the efficient set of portfolios and the CML for the optimal portfolio. 2-Explain why all investors should choose the same risky portfolio from the efficient set 3-Identify on the CML two investors; one who is risk averse and one who is not
You are attempting to evaluate two possible portfolios, which consist of the same five assets held in different proportions. You are particularly interested in using beta to compare the risks of the portfolios, so he has gathered the data shown in the following table. Calculate the betas for portfolios X and Y. Compare the risks of these portfolios to the market as well as to each other. Which portfolio is more risky?
Using the data generated in the graph, show what the information looks like in a spreadsheet. a) Plot the Security Market Line (SML) b) Superimpose the CAPM’s required return on the SML c) Indicate which investments will plot on, above, and below the SML? d) If an investment’s expected return (mean return) does not plot on the SML, what does it show? Identify undervalued/overvalued investments from the graph.
Which of the following statements is true regarding the optimal risky portfolio: It is designated by the point of tangency with iso-utility curve and the capital allocation line. It is designated by the point of highest Sharpe ratio in the opportunity set. It is designed by the point of tangency with the opportunity set and the securities market line. This portfolio gives the highest standard deviation risk per unit of risk premium in the opportunity set.
QUESTION Given a simple world with two assets, a bond fund and a stock fund, clearly detail the steps involved in arriving at the 1) efficient frontier, and 2) market (optimal) portfolio. What is the significance of the Capital Market Line? To be more specific, what relationship does this line depict? Give a brief discussion on its application. One important assumption behind portfolio theory is that investors are “mean-variance maximizers.” What is the meaning of this? Explain why this assumption is important in the delineation of the efficient frontier.
What is the equation for the Security Market Line? Define each term. If an asset has a beta of 2.0, what type of return should it realize compared to the market portfolio?
Compare and contrast the risk versus expected rate of return tradeoff, the security market line, and determination of beta on this basis. Include explanation of all the constituents, namely security market line, risk measure, expected rate of return, risk-free rate of return, and market rate of return. Include hypothetical examples for better clarity. What is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and its significance? 2. Can you think of two hypothetical examples for better clarity?
