19. Your client has $100,000 invested in stock A. She would like to build a two-stock portíolio by investing another $100,000 in either stock B or C. She wants a portfolio with an expected return of at least 14% andas low a risk as possible, but the standard deviation must be no more than 40%. What do you advise her to do, and what will be the portfolio's expected return and standard deviation? Expected Return 15% 13% 13% Standard Deviation 50% 40% 40% Correlation with A 1 0.2 0.3 A 8 C
400 Part 4 Risk and Return 27. The Chapter Resources section of Mylab Finance has data on Microsoft and theS&p 500 from 1986 to 2006. a. Estimate Microsoft's beta using linear regression over the periods 1987-1991. b. Compare the four estimated betas. What do you conclude about how Microsof's 1992-1996, 1997-2001, and 2002-2006. exposure to systematic risk changed over that 20-year period? What do you think explains the change? Putting It AlI Together: The Capital Asset Pricing Model 28. Suppose the risk-free return is 4% and the market portfolio has an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 16%. Johnson & Johnson Corporation stockhas a beta of 0.75. What is its expected return? risk premium of the market portfolio is positive) 29. What is the sign of the risk premium of a negative-beta stock? Explain. (Assumethe 30. EJH has a beta of 12, CSH has a beta of 0.6, and KMS has a beta of 1.0. If you put 25% of your money in EJH, 25% in CSH, and 50% in KMS, what is the beta of your portfolio? 31. Suppose Autodesk stock has a beta of 2.16, whereas Costco stock has a beta of 0.69. If the risk-free interest rate is 4% and the expected return of the market portfolio is 10%, what is the expected return of a portfolio that consists of 60% Autodesk stock and 40% Costco stock, according to the CAPM? 32. Suppose Intel stock has a beta of 0.8, whereas Boeing stock has a beta of 1.2. If the risk-free interest rate is 4% and the expected return of the market portfolio is 10%, according to the CAPM, a. What is the expected return of Intel stock? b. What is the expected return of Boeing stock? c. What is the beta of a portfolio that consists of 60% Intel stock and 40% Boeing stock? d. What is the expected return of a portfolio that consists of 60% Intel stock and40% Boeing stock? (Show both ways to sove this.) 33. You are thinking of buying a stock priced at $100 per share. Assume that the risk- free rate is about 4.5% and the market risk premium is 6%. If you think the stock will rise to $117 per share by the end of the year, at which time it will pay a $1 dividend, what beta would it need to have for this expectation to be consistent with the CAPM? 34. You are analyzing a stock that has a beta of 1.2. The risk-free rate is 5% and you esti- mate the market risk premium to be 6%. If you expect the stock to have a return of 11% over the next year, should you buy it? Why or why not? 35. You have risen through the ranks of a coffee company, from the low ł y green-apron barista to the coveted black apron, and all the way to CFO. A quick Internet check shows that your company's beta is 0.6. The risk-free rate is 5% and you believe the market risk premium to be 5.5%. What is your best estimate of investors' expected return on your company's stock (its cost of equity capital)? 36. At the beginning of 2007 (the year the iPhone was introduced), Apple's beta was 1.4 and the risk-free rate was about 4.5%. Apple's price was $84.84. Apple's price at the end of 2007 was 198.08. If you estimate the market risk premium to have been6%, did Apple's managers exceed their investors' required return as given by theCAPM? Created with Scanner Pro
