Students have asked these similar questions
Conglomco has a beta of 0.32. If the market
return is expected to
be 12 percent and the risk-free rate is 5 percent,
what is Conglomco's required return? Use the
capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to calculate
Conglomco's required return.
Suppose now that your portfolio must yield an expected return of 13% and be efficient, that is, on the best feasible CAL.
What is the proportion invested in the T-bill fund?
What is the required return on an investment with a beta of 1.4 if the risk-free rate is 2.2 percent and the return on the market is 7.0 percent? Round your answer to two decimal places.

If the expected return on the investment is 13.1 percent, what should you do?
Since the expected return -Select- than the required return, the individual -Select-
