Chapter 11, Problem 17QAP
Summary Introduction
Adequate information:
Risk free rate = 4%
Stock expected return = 12.30%
Stock beta = 1.2
Percentage of portfolio in asset W = 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, and 150%.
To compute: Slope of the line, portfolio expected return, and portfolio beta
Introduction: The slope of the line is the representation of the market risk premium. Portfolio expected return refers to the return anticipated on the portfolio as a whole. Portfolio beta refers to the systematic risk of the entire investment portfolio.

Consider two assets. Suppose that the return on asset 1 has expected value 0.05 and standard deviation 0.1 and suppose that the return on asset 2 has expected value 0.02 and standard deviation 0.05. Suppose that the asset returns have correlation 0.4.Consider a portfolio placing weight w on asset 1 and weight 1-w on asset 2; let Rp denote the return on the portfolio.
Find the mean and variance of Rp as a function of w.
There are two assets 1 and 2, with returns X and Y correspondingly. Return X is a random variable with mean 1 and variance 1; return Y is a random variable with mean 1 and variance 3. We know that the expectation of X*Y is equal to 0. Find the share of asset 1 in the risk-minimizing portfolio.
