Answer: Step 1) Find share of market in the Portfolio
(11.5-3.5)x+3.5=6.5
8x=3
x=3/8
x=0.375
=37.5%
SD of market portfolio= 0.375x+0=9.5
x=9.5/0.375
=25.33%
correl = cov / (std 1 * std2)
0.4=COV/0.2533*0.545
COV= 0.2533*0.545*0.4=0.05
cov of 2 assets = b1 * b2 * variance of market
0.05=B1*1*0.2533^2
B of security=0.0032
Capm Model
3.5+0.0032(11.5-3.5)=3.5256% expected return
Explanation:
Step 1) Find the share of market in the portfolio in order to find market SD
Step 2) Find Covariance betweens security and market by using both SDS and correlation
Step 3) Find Beta of Security using Co variance
Step 4) Use the Beta in CAPM model in order to find expected return
