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?
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.

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%.

Suppose CAPM is true. You are considering investing in an equally weighted portfolio of two stocks, A and B. The betas of these stocks to the market factor are 1.10 and 0.80, respectively. The total return volatilities of stocks A and B are σA=0.20 and σB=0.18, and the standard deviation of the factor’s return is 0.15. 1.b. What is the portfolio’s systematic risk (stated as a variance)? 1.c. What is your portfolio’s total risk (stated as a variance), assuming the idiosyncratic risks of the stocks A and B are uncorrelated? Answer: 1a) 0.95 1b) systematic risk 0.0203 1c) total risk 0.0181 Can anyone help to double confirm the answers? plus question part c seems to be wrong but I don't know why.
Assume the CAPM holds and consider stock X, which has a return variance of 0.09 and a correlation of 0.75 with the market portfolio. The market portfolio's Sharpe ratio is 0.30 and the the risk-free rate is 5%. (a) What is Stock X's expected return? (b) What proportion of Stock X's return volatility (i.e. standard deviation) is priced by the market? Explain why this number is less than 1.
