6. Equilibrium pricing: Let the subscripts: j = 0 denote the risk-free asset, j = 1,...,n the setof available risky securities, and M the market portfolio. For the questions that follow,assume that CAPM provides an accurate description of reality.a.b.C.d.State the CAPM equation. (1)Use the CAPM equation to show that the following condition is true s; ≤ SMfor any j. What is the significance of this condition when interpreted in thecontext of the capital market line? (5)Assume that B = 0.8, μM = 0.1 and r = 0.05. Using the CAPM, determinethe expected return from holding one unit of asset j for oneperiod. (2)Given your answer to c.), what could you conclude (from the perspective ofthe security market line) if a market survey indicated that the forecasted one-period return on asset j was 8 percent? Describe and motivate the rationaltrading response that is consistent with your conclusion. (4)

A forward contract has an underlying asset which, in Cox-RossRubenstein notation, has S=22,u=1.2 and d=0.9. This forward contract matures in one time step and the return over this time step is R=1.02. Assuming the forward price is calculated rationally, what is the value of the forward at node (1,1)? (Give your answer as a positive number.)
Which of the following is the correct equation of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)? (E(Ri) denotes the expected return on a security, Rf denotes the risk-free rate, [E(RM) − Rf] denotes the market risk premium, and βi denotes the amount of systematic risk present in the security.) Multiple choice question. E(Ri) = Rf + [E(RM) – Rf] × βi E(Ri) = Rf – [E(RM) + Rf] × βi E(Ri) = Rf – [E(RM) – Rf] × βi E(Ri) = Rf + [Rf− E(RM)] × βi
