Question 6 Suppose that an investor has £1,000,000 to invest in a portfolio containing stocks A, B and a risk-free asset. The investor must invest all her money, and she is using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to make predictions of the expected return-beta relationship. Her objective is to create a portfolio that has an expected return of 14% and which has a beta of 0.75. If stock A has an expected return of 30% and a beta of 1.9, stock B has an expected return of 20% and a beta of 1.4, and the risk-free rate is 8%, how much money will she invest in stock A? Explain your answer and show your calculations.

N2 10. There is a risky portfolio of multiple stocks with an expected return of 14% and a standard deviation of 21%. Jason invests 65% of his total wealth on this risky portfolio and the rest 35% on Treasury bills (so, he has constructed a ‘complete portfolio’ of a risky asset and a risk-free asset). One-year T-bill rate is 3%. a. Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of his complete portfolio b. Calculate his risk premium of the risky portfolio as well as of the complete portfolio c. Compute the Sharpe ratio d. Draw the capital allocation line
Q5. You are considering two investment choices: a. 1 year CD that pays 2% for sure; b. investing in SP500 with 8% expected and 20% stdev. Q5a. If you put 50% in each of the two, what in the mean and stdev for your portfolio return? Q5b. You want to maximize your expected return for the portfolio, as long as the stdev risk is no more than 10% per year. What is the allocation to CD and to stocks? What is the mean return of the portfolio? Q5c. You want to reach 17% mean return per year as a minimum. What is the least amount you need to allocate to stocks? What is the stdev of the portfolio?Q6. In addition to two instruments in Q5, you also can invest in a long term bond with 4% mean return and 10% stdev annually. Stock and bond funds have a correlation of -0.4 (negative 0.4). Q6a. What is the mean return and stdev for a portfolio that is 50% in stock and 50% in bond? Q6b. What is the mean return and stdev for a portfolio that is 25% in stock and 25% in bond and 50% in 1 year CD? Q6c. What…
