Security A has an expected rate of return of 6%, a standard deviation ofreturns of 30%, a correlation coefficient with the market of 20.25, and abeta coefficient of 20.5. Security B has an expected return of 11%, a standard deviation of returns of 10%, a correlation with the market of 0.75, anda beta coefficient of 0.5. Which security is more risky? Why?
Security A has an expected return of 7%, a standard deviation of returns of35%, a correlation coefficient with the market of 20.3, and a beta coefficientof 21.5. Security B has an expected return of 12%, a standard deviation ofreturns of 10%, a correlation with the market of 0.7, and a beta coefficient of1.0. Which security is riskier? Why?
The risk-free rate is 3 percent, the expected return on the PSEi is 13 percent, and its standard deviation is 23 percent. XYZ co, has a standard deviation of 50 percent and a correlation of 65 with the market.
Calculate XYZ beta and expected return then explain the role of a security’s beta in the calculation of expected returns

Calculate the correlation coefficient between Blandy and the market. Use this and the previously calculated (or given) standard deviations of Blandy and the market to estimate Blandy’s beta. Does Blandy contribute more or less risk to a well-diversified portfolio than does the average stock? Use the SML to estimate Blandy’s required return.
