Q. Market rate of return is 18%, risk-free rate of return 8% and beta is 1.2 1. Calculate the required rate of return 2. Calculate risk premium

The possible returns of a security I and research returns under three possible states are as follows. Probability % market % security 0.2 15 10 0.5 13 16 0.3 25 30 The risk free rate is 9%, determine the required rate of return of security I and sate whether it is correctly valued. 12-marks] 20 Ri= E(R) XW

Using the following data: Scenario Probability return K1 return K2 0.2 -10% 5% W2 0.4 0% 30% W3 0.4 20% -5% compute the weights in the portfolio with minimum risk. What are the expected return and risk of this minimum risk portfolio?

If the risk-free rate is 10.2% and the market risk premium is 4.4%, what is the required return for the market? a. 5.8% b. 4.4% C. 14.6% d. 10.2%
