Particulars Expected Return   Beta Working notes = ER Working notes = Beta
(i) 0 3%                          -   0*12% + 1*3% 0*1 + 1*0
(ii) .25 5.25%                      0.25 .25*12% + .75*3% .25*1 + .75*0
(iii) .50 7.50%                      0.50 .5*12% + .5*3% .5*1 + .5*0
(iv) .75 9.75%                      0.75 .75*12% + .25*3% .75*1 + .25*0
