Answer:
a. 11.88%
b. -3.68%
Explanation:
Given that
Risk free rate = 6%
Beta = 1.4%
Market rate = 10.2%
Risk free rate = 6%
Alpha return = 8.2%
a. The computation of expected return of portfolio is given below:-
= Risk free rate + Beta (Market rate - Risk free rate)
= 6% + 1.4% (10.2% - 6%)
= 11.88%
b. The calculation of Alpha of portfolio is shown below:-
= Alpha return - Expected return
= 8.2% - 11.88%
= -3.68%

18% = 0.15 * Equity Multiplier
Equity Multiplier = 18%/0.15
Equity Multiplier = 1.2
