Summary Introduction
Adequate information:
Risk-free rate (Rf) = 4.4% or 0.044
Market expected return [E(RM)] = 10.90% or 0.109
Market variance (σM)2 = 0.0391
Portfolio correlation with market (ρZ,M) = 0.31
Variance of Portfolio Z (σZ)2 = 0.3407
To compute: Expected return on Portfolio Z.
Introduction: Expected return on the portfolio refers to the return that is anticipated on the portfolio as a whole.
