Suppose that you use Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) to evaluate well-diversified portfolios. The three factor portfolios used in an APT model, portfolios 1, 2, and 3, have expected returns E(r1) = 5%, E(r2) = 3%, and E(r3) = 8%. Suppose further that the risk-free rate (λ0) is 2%. Calculate the total return on a well- diversified portfolio with its beta on the first factor, βA1 = 1.1, beta on the second factor, βA2 = .9, and beta on the third factor, βA3 = 1.2.
Consider the one-factor APT. Assume that two portfolios, A and B, are well diversified. The betas of portfolios A and B are 1.0 and 1.5, respectively. The expected returns on portfolios A and B are 19% and 24%, respectively. Assuming no arbitrage opportunities exist, the risk-free rate of return must be 14% 9% 16.5% 4%
Suppose that there are two independent economic factors, F1 and F2. The risk-free rate is 6%, and all stocks have independent firm-specific components with a standard deviation of 43%. Portfolios A and B are both well-diversified with the following properties: Portfolio Beta on F1 Beta on F2 Expected Return A 1.9 2.2 33 % B 2.8 –0.22 28 % What is the expected return-beta relationship in this economy? Calculate the risk-free rate, rf, and the factor risk premiums, RP1 and RP2, to complete the equation below. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.)E(rP) = rf + (βP1 × RP1) + (βP2 × RP2)
Suppose that there are two independent economic factors, F1 and F2, the risk-free rate is 6%, and all stocks have independent firm-specific components with a standard deviation of 30%. The following are well-diversified portfolios: Portfolio Beta on F1 Beta on F2 Expected Return A 1.1 1.5 15% B 0.9 0.5 13% What is the expected return-beta relationship in this economy?
Suppose that there are two independent economic factors, F, and F2. The risk-free rate is 6%, and all stocks have independent firm-specific components with a standard deviation of 46%. Portfolios A and 8 are both well-diversified with the following properties: Expected Portfolio Beta on F1 Beta on F2 Es ReturnA 2.1 2.4 35%B 3.0 -0.24 30% What is the expected return-beta relationship in this economy?
