Stock Expected Return Standard Deviation Beta
A 9.28%   14%   0.8
B 11.33      14      1.3
C 12.97      14      1.7

Fund P has one-third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market is in equilibrium. (That is, required returns equal expected returns.)
