Consider the three stocks (Stock X, Stock Y and Stock Z) that have the following factor loadings (or factor betas)....
Ms. A invests $400,000, $60,000, and $25,000 in stocks X, Y, and Z, respectively. The betas of these stocks are.25, .95, and 1.63, respectively. The market's expected return is 8%, and the risk-free rate is 2%. What is the expected value of Ms. A's investment?
Consider the following information for three stocks, Stocks X, Y, and Z. The returns on the three stocks are positively correlated, but they are not perfectly correlated.

You own a portfolio that is invested 35% in Stock X, 20% in Stock Y, and 45% in Stock Z. The expected returns on these stocks are 8% and 11%, respectively, what is the expected return on the portfolio ?
Assume the CAPM holds. Consider three feasible portfolios of stocks X, Y and Z with the following return characteristics: Portfolio X Y Z Expected return 7.5% 5% 10% Standard deviation 5% 10% 15% a) Explain why beta is the appropriate measure of risk in this world. (5 marks) b) Portfolio Y is known to be uncorrelated with the market. Explain why this property implies that the risk-free rate in the economy is 5%. (5 marks) c) It is known that...
