- a. i. Use the beta you calculated for the stock in Problem 33(a) to estimate its expected return.
ii. How does this compare with the stock’s actual expected return?
- b. i. Use the beta you calculated for the stock in Problem 33(b) to estimate its expected return.
ii. How does this compare with the stock’s actual expected return?

Suppose you have the following expectations about the market condition and the returns on Stocks X and Y.
a) What are the expected returns for Stocks X and Y, E(rX) and E(rY)?
b) What are the standard deviations of the returns for Stocks X and Y, σX and σY?
1. Calculate the Expected Return, Standard Deviation, and Beta for each stock.
2. Which stock has more systematic risk and which one has more unsystematic risk? Which stock is "riskier"? Explain your answer completely.

Questions C and D is required.
c) Assume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is found to be half of the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourth of the required return on A. Return on market portfolio is denoted by RM. Find the ratio of beta of A (A) to beta of B (B).
d) Assume that the short-term risk-free rate is 3%, the market index S&P500 is expected to pay returns of 15% with the standard deviation equal to 20%. Asset A pays on average 5%, has standard deviation equal to 20% and is NOT correlated with the S&P500. Asset B pays on average 8%, also has standard deviation equal to 20% and has correlation of 0.5 with the S&P500. Determine whether asset A and B are overvalued or undervalued, and explain why. (Hint: Beta of asset i ( , where are standard deviations of asset i and market portfolio, is the correlation between asset i and the market portfolio)
