What makes for a good investment? Use the approximate yield formula or a financial calculator to rank the following investments according to their expected returns. Buy a stock for $30 a share, hold it for three years, and then sell it for $60 a share (the stock pays annual dividends of $2 a share). Buy a security for $40, hold it for two years, and then sell it for $100 (current income on this security is zero). Buy a one-year, 5 percent note for $1,000 (assume that the note has a $1,000 par value and that it will be held to maturity).
An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%. If ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = 20.4, and di = 1.3, what is the stock’s predicted return?
Assume that you’ve just inherited $500,000 and have decided to invest a big chunk of it ($350,000, to be exact) in common stocks. Your objective is to build up as much capital as you can over the next 15 to 20 years, and you’re willing to tolerate a “good deal’’ of risk. What types of stocks (blue chips, income stocks, and so on) do you think you’d be most interested in, and why? Select at least three types of stocks and briefly explain the rationale for selecting each. Would your selections change if you were dealing with a smaller amount of money—say, only $50,000? What if you were a more risk-averse investor?
Your client has decided that the risk of the bond portfolio is acceptable and wishes to leave it as it is. Now your client has asked you to use historical returns to estimate the standard deviation of Blandy’s stock returns. (Note: Many analysts use 4 to 5 years of monthly returns to estimate risk, and many use 52 weeks of weekly returns; some even use a year or less of daily returns. For the sake of simplicity, use Blandy’s 10 annual returns.)
Assume that you hold a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. You are in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Alpha Corp at $10 a share and adding it to your portfolio. Alpha has an expected return of 21.5% and a beta of 1.70. The total value of your current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Alpha stock? Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Suppose you held a diversified portfolio consisting of a $7,500 investmentin each of 20 different common stocks. The portfolio’s beta is 1.25. Now suppose you decided tosell one of the stocks in your portfolio with a beta of 1.0 for $7,500 and use the proceeds to buyanother stock with a beta of 0.80. What would your portfolio’s new beta be?
You are an investor in common stock, and you currently hold a well-diversified portfolio which has an expected return of 12 percent, a beta of 1.2, and a total value of $9,000. You plan to increase your portfolio by buying 100 shares of AT&E at $10 a share. AT&E has an expected return of 20 percent with a beta of 2.0. What will be the expected return and the beta of your portfolio after you purchase the new stock? Group of answer choices ~r(sub p) = 20.0%; βp = 2.00 ~r(sub p) = 12.8%; βp = 1.28 ~r(sub p) = 12.0%; βp = 1.20 ~r(sub p) = 13.2%; βp = 1.40 ~r(sub p) = 14.0%; βp = 1.32
Assume that you have just received information from your investment advisor that your portfolio has reached a value of $1,250,000. Your portfolio consists of three stocks, as follows: Stock Amount Invested % of Total Beta A $250,000 20% 1.12 B $400,000 32% .85 C $600,000 48% .55 Total: $1,250,000 100% Calculate the beta of this investment portfolio. Assume that the expected market return ( r m ) is 9 percent and the expected risk- free rate ( RF ) is 2 percent. What is the expected return ( r j ) for this investment portfolio?
ABC Company holds a well-diversified portfolio in the amount of $90,000 that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.27. It is buying 1,000 shares of DEF Company stock at $10 a share and adding them to its portfolio. DEF Company has an expected return of 13.0% and a beta of 1.57. Currently, the risk free rate is 3.5%, and the stock market return is 8.2%. What will the required rate of return on the new portfolio be after the purchase of DEF stock? (Hint: Compute a new portfolio beta first and then use the CAPM.) Group of answer choices 9.80% 9.61% 9.94% 9.32% 9.11%

Suppose you hold a diversified portfolio consisting of a $7,500 investment in each of 20 different common stocks. The portfolio beta is equal to 1.12. Now, suppose you have decide to sell one of the stocks in your portfolio with a beta equal to 1.0 for 7,500 and to use these proceeds to buy another stocks for your portfolio. Assume the new stocks beta to 1.75. Calculate your portfolios new beta.
