You have observed the following returns over time: Assume that the risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 5%. What are the betas of Stocks X and Y? What are the required rates of return on Stocks X and Y? What is the required rate of return on a portfolio consisting of 80% of Stock X and 20% of Stock Y?
Calculate the correlation coefficient between Blandy and the market. Use this and the previously calculated (or given) standard deviations of Blandy and the market to estimate Blandy’s beta. Does Blandy contribute more or less risk to a well-diversified portfolio than does the average stock? Use the SML to estimate Blandy’s required return.
Suppose the risk-free rate is 6 percent and the market portfolio has an expected return of 12 percent. The market portfolio has a standard deviation of 7 percent. Portfolio Z has a correlation coefficient with the market of 0.35 and standard deviation of 6 percent. According to the capital asset pricing model, what is the expected return on portfolio Z a. 12.6 percent b. 7.8 percent c. 9.87 percent d. 12.05 percent
A portfolio that combines the risk-free asset and the market portfolio has an expected return of 6.4 percent and a standard deviation of 9.4 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.4 percent, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 11.4 percent. Assume the capital asset pricing model holds. What expected rate of return would a security earn if it had a .39 correlation with the market portfolio and a standard deviation of 54.4 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
A portfolio that combines the risk-free asset and the market portfolio has an expected return of 7 percent and a standard deviation of 10 percent.The risk-free rate is 4 percent, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12 percent. Assume the capital asset pricing model holds. Compute and justify the expected rate of return would a security earn if it had a 0.45 correlation with the market portfolio and a standard deviation of 55 percent.
Assume that the following one-factor macroeconomic model describes the expected return for portfolios: Also assume that all investors agree on the expected returns and factor sensitivity of the three highly diversified Portfolios A, B, and C given in the following table: Portfolio Expected Return Factor Sensitivity A 0.09 0.50 B 0.13 0.75 C 0.17 1.50 If the model and the table are both correct, determine whether or not an arbitrage opportunity exists. If not, why not? If so, explain how to exploit it.
Consider the multifactor model APT with three factors. Portfolio A has a beta of 0.8 on factor 1, a beta of 1.1 on factor 2, and a beta of 1.25 on factor 3. The risk premiums on the factor 1, factor 2, and factor 3 are 3%, 5%, and 2%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return is 3%. The expected return on portfolio A is __________ if no arbitrage opportunities exist. A. 23.0% B. 16.5% C. 13.4% D. 13.5%
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 following information on the estimated factor loadings for a two-factor APT model for three well-diversified portfolios. Beta1 Beta2 E(r) Port A 1.5 .3 .15 Port B .75 .65 .15 Port C 0 1.0 .21 The risk-free rate is 1% per annum. Beta1 is the factor loading on Factor 1 and Beta2 is the factor loading for factor 2; E(r) denotes the expected return. Assume there are no transactions costs and that you can short the portfolios and borrow and lend at the risk-free rate (you can obviously go long in the portfolios too). This question has you determine whether or not there exists an arbitrage opportunity with…
Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0? How does expected return vary with beta?
The market index return is 1.3% and its standard deviation is 17%. The risk free rate is 3%. Portfolio Q generates an annual return of 14%, and has a beta of 1.35, and a standard deviation of 23%. Consider a complete portfolio that consists of the portfolio Q and the risk free asset. If we require the standard deviation of the complete portfolio to be the same as the market portfolio, what is the Sharpe ratio of the complete portfolio?
Consider an economy where Capital Asset Pricing Model holds. In this economy, stocks A and B have the following characteristics: Stock A has and expected return of 22% and a beta of 2. Stock B has an expected return of 15% and a beta of 0.8. The standard deviation of the market portfolio’s return is 18%. Q: Assuming that stocks A and B are correctly priced according to the CAPM, compute the risk-free rate and the market risk premium.
