c. If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 9 percent, what is its beta?
d. If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 2.28, what are the portfolio weights? How do you interpret the weights for the two assets in this case? Explain.

CAPM The Treasury bill rate is 4%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. Using the capital asset pricing model:
Draw a graph similar to show how the expected return varies with beta.
What is the risk premium on the market?
What is the required return on an investment with a beta of 1.5?
If an investment with a beta of .8 offers an expected return of 9.8%, does it have a positive NPV?
If the market expects a return of 11.2% from stock X, what is its beta?
2C)
Assume that the CAPM holds in the economy. The following data is available about the market portfolio, the riskless rate, and two risky assets, W and X: The market portfolio has a standard deviation equals to 10%, stock W has an expected return equals to 16%, standard deviation equals to 12%, and beta equals to one, stock X has a standard deviation equals to 6% and beta equals to 0.7. The risk-free rate is 3%.
What is the expected return and the beta of the market portfolio?
What is the expected return on asset X?
Does asset W lie on the Capital Market Line? Explain why or why not.
Suppose you invested $100,000 in these two stocks. The beta of your portfolio is 1.25. How much did you invest in each stock? What is the expected return of this portfolio?
CAPM: The Treasury bill rate is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. On the basis of Capital Asset Pricing Model:
What is the risk premium of the market?
What is the risk premium of an investment with a beta of 1.5?
What is the required return of an investment with a beta of 1.5?
If an investment has a beta of .8 and offers an expected return of 11% (think of it as its IRR), does it have a positive NPV?
