- 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?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?

Suppose that the client decides to invest in your portfolio a proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 16%. Show the position of your client on your fund’s CAL. What is the proportion y? What are your client’s investment proportions in your three stocks and the T-bill fund?The firm wishes to estimate the beta of a portfolio that consists of two assets X and Y.

The risk-free rate is 6% and the market portfolio's return is 14%. Do you expect the investment to be a good one for the coming year if betas for the two portfolio components are 0.6 and 1.3, respectively?
