Equity has a beta of 1.35 and an expected return of 16 percent. A risk-free asset currently earns 4.8 percent. (a) What is the expected return on a portfolio that is equally invested in the two assets? (b) If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 0.95, what are the portfolio weights? (c) If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 8 percent, what is its beta? (d) If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 2.70, what are the portfolio weights? How do you interpret the weights for the two assets in this case? Explain
Consider two high-risk stocks, X and Y. The expected return on stock Y is 16%, with a standard deviation of 13%. The expected return on stock X is 20%, with a standard deviation of 25%. The correlation between the returns of X and Y is + 0.3. What is the expected return and standard deviation of 40% of Y investment and 60% of the portfolio of X investment?
Suppose the risk-free rate is 6 percent and the market portfolio has an expected return of 12 percent. The market portfolio has a standard deviation of 7 percent.

Asset X has a beta of 1.7 and an expected return of 15.1%. Asset Y has a beta of .70 and an expected return of 8.50%. The risk-free rate is 4.2%. If you wish to hold a portfolio consisting of assets X and Y and have a portfolio beta equal to 1.0, what is the expected return of the portfolio? The final answer should also be rounded to 5 decimal places.
