Consider a portfolio consisting of the market, the risk free asset, and stock A with equal weights. Beta of this portfolio is 1.5. What is the beta of stock A?
Homework Answers
Calculate the beta of the stock A as follows:
Portfolio beta = Weight *beta
Equal weight = 1/3 = 0.3333333
beta of the risk free rate = 0
Beta of the market = 1
-------------------------------------------
Stock A beta:
1.5 = (0*0.3333333) + (1*0.3333333) + (Beta of stock A * 0.3333333)
Beta of stock A = ( 1.5 - 0.3333333) / 0.3333333
Beta of stock A = 3.5

(2*5) Consider a market with many risky assets and a risk-free security. Asset’s returns are not perfectly correlated. All the CAPM assumptions hold and the market is in equilibrium. The risk-free rate is 5%, the expected return on the market is 15%. Mr. T and Mrs. R are two investors with mean-variance utility functions and different risk-aversion coefficients. They both invest into efficient portfolios composed of the market portfolio and the risk-free security. Mr. T’s portfolio has an expected return...
