To solve this problem, note that a well-diversified portfolio should lie on the Capital Market Line. The market portfolio has an expected return of 11.5 percent and a standard deviation of 19 percent. The risk-free rate is 4.1 percent. a. What is the expected return on a well-diversified portfolio with a standard deviation of 9 percent? b. What is the standard deviation of a well-diversified portfolio with an expected return of 20 percent?
An investor holds two well-diversified portfolios on US securities. The expected return on portfolio A is 13% and the expected return on portfolio B is 8%, and βA = 1 and βB = 0.7. What should be the risk-free rate according to the CAPM?
You already have a very well-diversified portfolio of common stock with a beta of 2, and you want to add stock AAA or BBB into the portfolio. AAA’s standard deviation is 0.2300 and its beta is 4. BBB’s standard deviation is 0.6500 and its beta is 0.5. How will the addition affect the portfolio’s risk? If we add more factors into the one-factor asset pricing model, what happens to the required returns, increase or decrease? If the expected future cash...
