Assume that the following two assets are priced according to the zero-beta security market line: asset 1 has expected return of 6% and beta 0.5; asset 2 has expected return 14% and beta 2. (i) A third asset is mispriced by the market: it has beta 1.5 and expected return of 8%. Explain how you can set up a portfolio to exploit the arbitrage opportunity. What is the expected return of such portfolio? [33%] (ii) A fourth asset is mispriced by the market: it has beta 1.2 and expected return of 18%.

How to set-up this problem? Refer to the following example for part i) Risk-free rate of return = 3% Market return (or market portfolio's rate of return) = 10% IBM stock's beta = 1.2 Then, based on the CAPM (capital asset pricing model), IBM stock's required rate of return (or minimum acceptable return or fair rate of return) = risk-free return + beta*(market return minus risk-free return) = 3% + 1.2*(10% - 3%) = 11.4% Also, the market risk premium (or market portfolio's risk premium) = market return minus risk-free return = 10% - 3% = 7% HERE IS THE QUESTION i) suppose that a stock's beta is 0.7. If the risk-free rate of return is 4% and the market risk premium is 8%, what is the stock's required rate of return?
a) Suppose the risk-free rate is `X'% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10%. In your view, the expected rate of return of a security is 12.2%. Given that this security has a beta of 1.4, do you consider it to be overpriced, under-priced or fairly priced according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model? Please provide the details of your calculations and discuss your results. b) Using a graph, explain when a security is overpriced, under-priced or fairly priced according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Plot your answer from (a) onto this graph.
