4. Portfolio Expected Return [LO1] You have $10,00o
to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with
an expected return of 12.1 percent and Stock Y with
an expected return of 9.8 percent. If your goal is to create a
portfolio with an expected return of 10.85 percent, how
much money will you invest in Stock X? In Stock Y?
Using CAPM [LO4] A stock has a beta of 1.35 and an expected return of
16 percent. A risk free asset currently earns 4.8 percent.
a. What is the expected return on a portfolio that is equally invested in the two
assets?
b. If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 0.95, what are the portfolio weights?
c. If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 8 percent, what is its
beta?
d. If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 2.70, what are the portfolio weights
How do you interpret the weights for the two assets in this case? Explain.
Using the SML [LO4] Asset W has an expected return of 11.8 percent and a beta
of 1.15. If the risk-free rate is 3.7 percent, complete the following table for
portfolios of Asset W and a risk-free asset. Illustrate the relationship between
portfolio expected return and portfolio beta by plotting the expected returns against
the betas. What is the slope of the line that results?
