Security A has an expected rate of return of 6%, a standard deviation of returns of 30%, a correlation coefficient with the market of −0.25, and a beta coefficient of −0.5. Security B has an expected return of 11%, a standard deviation of returns of 10%, a correlation with the market of 0.75, and a beta coefficient of 0.5. Which security is more risky? Why?
APT An analyst has modeled the stock of Crisp Trucking using a two-factor APT model. The risk-free rate is 6%, the expected return on the first factor (r1) is 12%, and the expected return on the second factor (r2) is 8%. If bi1 = 0.7 and bi2 = 0.9, what is Crisp’s required return?
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?
Your client is shocked at how much risk Blandy stock has and would like to reduce the level of risk. You suggest that the client sell 25% of the Blandy stock and create a portfolio with 75% Blandy stock and 25% in the high-risk Gourmange stock. How do you suppose the client will react to replacing some of the Blandy stock with high-risk stock? Show the client what the proposed portfolio return would have been in each year of the sample. Then calculate the average return and standard deviation using the portfolios annual returns. How does the risk of this two-stock portfolio compare with the risk of the individual stocks if they were held in isolation?
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.
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
Suppose the risk-free rate is 5.1 percent and the market portfolio has an expected return of 11.8 percent. The market portfolio has a variance of .0472. Portfolio Z has a correlation coefficient with the market of .37 and a variance of .3375 According to the capital asset pricing model, what is the expected return on Portfolio Z?
You are constructing a portfolio of two assets, Asset A and Asset B. The expected returns of the assets are 12 percent and 15 percent, respectively. The standard deviations of the assets are 29 percent and 48 percent, respectively. The correlation between the two assets is .25 and the risk-free rate is 5 percent. What is the optimal Sharpe ratio in a portfolio of the two assets? What is the smallest expected loss for this portfolio over the coming year with a probability of 2.5 percent?
The firm wishes to estimate the beta of a portfolio that consists of two assets X and Y. The investment manager of the firm has gathered the following information on the two assets. Securities Rate of Return Standard Deviation Beta X 20% 20% 1.5 Y 10% 30% 1.0 Risk free asset 5% Calculate: The beta of the portfolio if 75% of the funds are invested in Y and 25% in X The portfolio expected return and the portfolio beta if you invest 35 % in X, 45% in Y and 20 % in the risk-free asset Assuming the CAPM applies, if the market’s expected return is 13 percent, the risk free rate is 8% and stock X’s required rate of return is 16%, what is the stock’s beta coefficient?
