Answer:

Expected Portfolio return = 0.5(10)+0.5(13)= 5+6.5=11.5%

Expected Portfolio SD= 0.5(20)+0.5(30)= 25%

Beta of A, 10= 5+B(6)

5=6B

B= 5/6= 0.833

B of B, 13=5+B(6)

8=6B

B=8/6

B=1.33

b. Portfolio AB's standard deviation is 25%

c. Stock A's beta is 0.8333

These two statements are correct

When land purchased,the land account is debited with $226,000 and cash is credited with $226,000.

The receipt of $74,000 from lease rental means that cash is debited and the lease revenue is credited.

The coupon interest on the bonds=$226,000*5%=$11,300

The coupon interest is debited to interest expense and credited to cash in each of the two years.

Consider the following information: Portfolio Expected Return Beta Risk-free 6 % 0 Market 10.2 1.0 A 8.2 1.4 a. Calculate the re
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a. The return predicted by CAPM for a portfolio with a beta of 1.4 is 11.88%

b. The alpha of portfolio A is -3.68%

Explanation:

The formula for computing the return by Capital Assets Pricing Method (CAPM) model.

Expected return = Risk Free rate + (Beta × Market Risk Premium)

where,

Market risk premium = market return - risk free rate

Now, putting the values in the above equation

a. Expected return = 0.06 + 1.4 × (0.102 - 0.06)

= 0.06 + 1.4 × 0.042

= 0.06 + 0.0588

= 0.1188

= 11.88 %

Thus, the return predicted by CAPM for a portfolio with a beta of 1.4 is 11.88%.

b. The alpha should be = Portfolio expected return - expected return

                                      = 8.20 - 11.88 %

                                      = -3.68%

Thus, the alpha of portfolio A is -3.68%
