- A4) Critically explain the risk premium of a zero-beta stock. Does this mean you can lower the volatility of a portfolio without changing the expected return by substituting out any zero-beta stock in a portfolio and replacing it with the risk-free asset?arrow_forwardQ.Why we can make money more than the risk-premium under the CAPM from this strategy (zero-cost HML portfolio), given the value effectarrow_forward2C) 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?arrow_forward
- ANSWER C AND D PLEASE ONLY Consider the following portfolio choice problem. The investor has initial wealth w andutility u(x) = (x^n) / n. There is a safe asset (such as a US government bond) that has netreal return of zero. There is also a risky asset with a random net return that has onlytwo possible returns, R1 with probability 1 − q and R0 with probability q. We assumeR1 < 0, R0 > 0. Let A be the amount invested in the risky asset, so that w − A isinvested in the safe asset.a) What are risk preferences of this investor, are they risk-averse, riskneutral or risk-loving?b) Find A as a function of w. c) Does the investor put more or less of his portfolio into the risky assetas his wealth increases? d) Now find the share of wealth, α, invested in the risky asset. How doesα change with wealth?arrow_forward2. Based on the chart above, which portfolio is “better” based on Markowitz approach to portfolio construction? A. A, because it has zero risk B. B, because it is safe than C C. C, because it has higher return D. B & C are equally good because both have same “return relative to the risk taken” and the choice between the two is a matter of investors preferencearrow_forward37 - An increase in investor risk aversion would be expected to: Increase the Risk-Free Rate while Decreasing the Expected Return on the Market Portfolio. Increase the Risk-Free Rate while Increasing the Expected Return on the Market Portfolio. Decrease the Risk-Free Rate while Decreasing the Expected Return on the Market Portfolio. Decrease the Risk-Free Rate while Increasing the Expected Return on the Market Portfolio. There is not enough information to determine how the Risk-Free Rate and Expected Return on the Market Portfolio will change. None of the above answers is correct.arrow_forward
- 23. The certainty equivalent rate of a portfolio is a. the rate that a risk free investment would need to offer with certainty to be considered equally attractive as the risky portfolio. b. the rate that the investor must earn for certain to give up the use of his or her money. c. the minimum rate guarteed by institutions such as banks. d. the rate that equates "A" in the utility function with the average risk aversion coefficient for all risk averse investors. e. represented by the scaling factor "-.005' in the utility functionarrow_forwarda) Suppose the risk-free rate is 1% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10%. In your view, the expected rate of return of a security is 12.2%. Given that this security has a beta of 1.4, do you consider it to be overpriced, under-priced or fairly priced according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model? Please provide the details of your calculations and discuss your resultsarrow_forward7. Portfolio Risk and Return. Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 10% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%. (LO12-1) How would you construct a portfolio from these two assets with an expected return of 8%? Specifically, what will be the weights in the S&P 500 versus T-bills? How would you construct a portfolio from these two assets with a beta of .4? Find the risk premiums of the portfolios in parts (a) and (b), and show that they are proportional to their betas.arrow_forward
- Suppose you observe the following situation:Security Beta Expected ReturnDiamond Co 1.3 0.2Spade Co 0.8 0.14 (a) According to the above information, could we figure out the market return and risk-free rate? Explain your answer. (b) Discuss the possibility of including zero beta or negative beta assets in your portfolio. Explain the pros and cons of including these types of assets.arrow_forwardPortfolio Expected return Standard deviation Q 7.8% 10.5% R 10.0% 14.0% S 4.6% 5.0% T 11.7% 18.5% U 6.2% 7.5% What is the minimum level of risk that would be necessary for an investment to earn 7.0%? What is the composition of the portfolio along the Capital Market Line (CML) that will generate that expected return? Rf= 3%arrow_forwardConsider the following portfolio choice problem.
