Analysts' estimates on expected returns from equity investments are based on several factors. These estimations also often include subjective and
judgmental factors, because different analysts interpret data in different ways.
Suppose, based on the earnings consensus of stock analysts, Musashi expects a return of 10.32% from the portfolio with the new weights. Does he
think that the revised portfolio, based on the changes he recommended, is undervalued, overvalued, or fairly valued?
Fairly valued
Undervalued
Overvalued
Suppose instead of replacing Atteric Inc.'s stock with Baque Co.'s stock, Musashi considers replacing Atteric Inc.'s stock with the equal dollar allocation
to shares of Company X's stock that has a higher beta than Atteric Inc.. If everything else remains constant, the portfolio's beta would
and the required return from the portfolio would
