Beta of GBI=correlation with market*standard deviation of GBI/standard deviation of market=0.9*10%/8%=1.125
Let weight of GBI be w and weight of market portfolio be 1-w
Hence,
w*1.125+(1-w)*1=1.5
=>w=(1.5-1)/(1.125-1)
=>w=4
Hence, short three times market and long 4 times GBI
We need to know returns to calculate returns for beta of
1.5

Question 14 5 pts The correlation coefficient between a stock and the market portfolio is +0.6. The standard deviation of return of the stock is 30 percent and that of the market portfolio is 20 percent. Calculate the beta of the stock 0.9 1.1 1.0 0.6
Stock A has an expected return of 11 percent, a beta of 0.9, and a standard deviation of 15 percent Stock B also has a beta of 0.9, but its expected returm is 9 percent and its standard deviation is 13 percent. Portfolio AB has $900,000 invested in Stock A and $300,000 invested in Stock B. The correlation between the two stocks' returns is zero. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Select one O a.I am not sure b....
6. Calculating a beta coefficient for a single stock Suppose that the standard deviation of returns for a single stock A IS A = 25%, and the standard deviation of the market return is on = 15%. If the correlation between stock A and the market is PAM - 0.6, then the stock's beta is prns against the market returns will equal the true value of Is it reasonable to expect that the beta value estimated via the regression of...

Suppose that securities are priced according to the CAPM. You have forecast the correlation coefficient between the rate of return on the High Value Mutual Fund (HVMF) and the market portfolio (M) at 0.8. Your forecasts of the standard deviations of the rate of return are 0.25 for HVFF and 0.20 for M. How would you combine the HVMF and a risk free security to obtain a portfolio with a beta of 1.6? Suppose that rf = 0.10 and E[rm...

Question 3:Compute the expected return on the market portfolio.Question 4:What is the expected return of a portfolio that is split (perhaps unevenly) between the risk-free asset and the market, if this portfolio has a standard deviation of 0.07?
Suppose that the return on Barbie's common stock has a standard deviation of 50%, and the return on the market portfolio has a standard deviation of 15%. The expected return of the market portfolio is 12%, and the risk-free rate is 4%. Assume that the Barbie stock has an expected return of 20% under the CAPM theory. What is the correlation between the Barbie stock and the Market portfolio?
