Answer (A):

Need more data to select the better adviser

<u>Explanation: </u>

Adviser A averaged 19% return on the investment which is more than that of Adviser B who averaged 16% return on investment. However, adviser A has a beta of 1.5 which is also greater than that of Adviser B who has a beta of 1. This means that adviser A made a more riskier investment and hence a higher average return on investment. We need more data to tell which adviser performed better in relation to each other.

Answer (B):

Investment Adviser B

<u>Explanation:</u>

R_{f} = T-bill rate = 6%

R_{m} = Market return = 14%

R_{m} - R_{f} = Market risk premium = 14% - 6% = 8%

ER_{a} = Average Return by Adviser A =19%

\beta _{a} = Beta of Adviser A = 1.5

ER_{b} = Average Return by Adviser B =16%

\beta _{b} = Beta of Adviser B = 1

CAPM Equation is ER_{i} = R_{f} +\beta  (R_{m} - R_{f} ) +\alpha

<u>For Adviser A</u>

ER_{i} = 6 + 1.5 (14 - 6) = 18%

The expected average return for the investment is 18% which means that Adviser A over performed the market by 1 %

<u>For Adviser B</u>

ER_{i} = 6 + 1 (14 - 6) = 14%

The expected average return for the investment is 14% which means that the Adviser B over performed the market by 2 %

Clearly, Adviser B performed better than Adviser A.

Answer (C):

Adviser B

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

In this part, the R_{f} = 3 % and R_{m} = 15%

All else remains the same

We make similar calculation as in part B
