What is Jensen's alpha of a portfolio comprised of 45 percent portfolio A and 55 percent of portfolio B? Portfolio Average Retur
inn [45]

Answer:

The Jensen's alpha of a portfolio comprised of 45 percent portfolio A and 55 percent of portfolio B = 2.04 %

Explanation:

<em>Solution</em>

Given that:

Now,

The Jensen’s alpha of a Portfolio is computed by applying  the formula  below:

Jensen's alpha = Portfolio Return − [Risk Free Rate of Return + ( Portfolio Beta * (Market Rate of Return − Risk Free Rate of Return ) ) ]

For the information given in the question we have the following,

The Risk free rate of return = 3. 1%

In order to find the Jensen’s alpha we have to first get the following from the information given in the question :

1. Portfolio Return

2. Portfolio Beta

3.Market Rate of Return

Thus,

(A)Calculation of Portfolio Return :

The formula for calculation of Portfolio Return is  given as:

E(RP) = ( RA * WA )+ ( RB * WB )

Where

E(RP) = Portfolio Return

RA = Average Return of Portfolio A ; WA = Weight of Investment in Portfolio A

RB = Average Return of Portfolio B ;  WB = Weight of Investment in Portfolio B

For the information given in the question we have the following:

RA = 18.9 %, WA = 45 % = 0.45, RB = 13.2 %,  WB = 55 % = 0.55

By applying the values in the formula we have

= ( 18.9 % * 0.45 ) + ( 13.2 % * 0.55 )

= 8.5050 % + 7.2600 % = 15.7650 %

(B). Calculation of Portfolio Beta:

Now,

The formula for calculating the Portfolio Beta is

ΒP = [ ( WA * βA ) + ( WB * βB ) ]

Where,

βP = Portfolio Beta

WA = Weight of Investment in Portfolio A = 45 % = 0.45 ; βA = Beta of Portfolio A = 1.92

WB = Weight of Investment in Portfolio B = 55 % = 0.55 ; βB = Beta of Portfolio B = 1.27

By Applying the above vales in the formula we have

= ( 0.45 * 1.92 )   + ( 0.55 * 1.27 )

= 0.8640 + 0.6985

= 1.5625

(C). Calculation of Market rate of return :

Now,

The Market Risk Premium = Market rate of return - Risk free rate

From the Information given in the Question we have

The Market Risk Premium = 6.8 %

Risk free rate = 3. 1 %

Market rate of return = To find

Then

By applying the above information in the Market Risk Premium formula we have

6.8 % = Market rate of Return - 3.1 %

Thus Market rate of return = 6.8 % + 3.1 % = 9.9 %

So,

From the following  information, we gave

Risk free rate of return = 3.1% ; Portfolio Return = 15.7650 %

The Portfolio Beta = 1.5625 ; Market Rate of Return = 9.9 %

Now

Applying the above values in the Jensen’s Alpha formula we have

The Jensen's alpha = Portfolio Return − [Risk Free Rate of Return + ( Portfolio Beta * (Market Rate of Return − Risk Free Rate of Return )) ]

= 15.7650 % - [ 3.1 % + ( 1.5625 * ( 9.9 % - 3.1 % ) ) ]

= 15.7650 % - [ 3.1 % + ( 1.5625 * 6.8 % ) ]                  

= 15.7650 % - [ 3.1 % + 10.6250 % ]

= 15.7650 % - 13.7250 %

= 2.0400 %

= 2.04 % ( when rounded off to two decimal places )

Therefore, the Jensen's alpha of a portfolio comprised of 45 percent portfolio A and 55 percent of portfolio B = 2.04 %

According to my opinion, what the agent did wrong is that he asked him to write the answers of the questions two more times because when we write again and again the same thing our handwriting changes.And what the agent did right is that he influenced him to compose all that he says as he directs the data to the suspect because in this way they can see whether the handwriting matches it or not.
