8. Inconsistent - With the increase in beta , the expected return should rise while it is decreasing in this case.
9.Inconsistent - With the same variance, the return on bond is fluctuating
10. Consistent - The expected return and variance are moving in the same direction making it consistent.
11.Consistent - The beta and expected return are moving in the same direction, making it consistent.
12. Consistent - The beta and market return are moving in the same direction making it consistent, where it means if beta increases , return increases and vice versa
CAPM For a risky return r, CAPM equation is Er -r- B(E[rm] -r), where r is risk-free rate, Tm is ...
Suppose that CAPM holds. Let Rf denote the risk free rate, E(RM) the expected return of the market portfolio, and sigmaMthe standard deviation of the market portfolio. Now consider some portfolio on the capital market line, with expected return E(R) and standard deviation sigma. What is the beta of this portfolio? Select one: 1. E(R)/sigma 2. sigmaM/sigma 3. sigma/sigmaM 4. E(RM)-Rf
a) If the CAPM is correct, what would be the expected return of a risky asset with a beta of 1.2, given a risk free rate of 3% and an expected market risk premium of 4.5%? b) If the CAPM is correct, what would be the expected return of a risky asset with a beta of 0.8, given a risk free rate of 4% and an expected return of the market of 9%
CAPM data: Market portfolio: Risk-free asset: Om = 0.2 E[RM]=18%, R, = 6% T-bills are also available. They are considered riskless and have a corresponding rate of return.

Consider the two (excess return) index-model regression results for stocks A and B. The risk-free rate over the period was 7%, and the market's average return was 13%. Performance is measured using an index model regression on excess returns.

(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...
Suppose there are two assets, one is risk-free and one is risky. The risk-free asset has a sure rate of return rj, the risky asset has a random rate of return r. Suppose the utility function of an investor is U(x) =--. The initial wealth is wo, the dollar amount invested in the risky asset is θ. r is normally distributed with mean μ and variance σ2. Based on the maximum utility framework, find the optimal investment strategy 6. (25...
The risk-free rate is 4.5%, the market risk premium = ( E(Rm) - Rf) is 10.1%, and the stock’s beta is 1.3. What is the required rate of return on the stock, E(Ri)? Use the CAPM equation.
