Assume the following information about the market and Apple, Inc.s stock. Apple's beta is 0.96, the risk-free rate is 2.18, the market risk premium is 6.35. Using the security market line (SML), what is the expected return for the firm's stock? Enter your response as a regular percent, rounded to the nearest first decimal. Do not enter dollar signs, percent signs, or commas. For example, if you calculated the decimal 0.1093, you would enter for your answer, 10.9. That reads 10.9 percent and is rounded conventionally.

Suppose you visit with a financial adviser, and you are considering investing some of your wealth in one of three investment portfolios stocks, bonds, or commodities. Your financial adviser provides you with the following table, which gives the probabilities of possible returns from each investment To maximize your expected return, you should choose: Stocks Bonds Probability Return Probability Return 0.15 20% 0.15 16.7% 06 10% T 04 7.5% 0.25 8% 0.45 3.3% OA bonds OB stocks OC. commodities OD. All of the portfolios have the same expected return. If you are risk-averse and had to choose between the stock or the bond investments, you would choose OA the stock portfolio because there is less uncertainty over the outcome OB. the bond portfolio because there is less uncertainty over the outcome. OC. the stock portfolio because of greater expected return. OD. the bond portfolio because of greater expected return. Commodities Probability Return 02 20% 0.2 15% 0.2 8% 02 02 5% 0%
Suppose Amy is choosing how to allocate her portfolio between two asset classes: risk-free government bonds and a risky group of diversified stocks.

Which of the following statements is most correct? If you add enough randomly selected stocks to a portfolio, you can completely eliminate all of the market risk from the portfolio. If you form a large portfolio of stocks each with a beta greater than 1.0, this portfolio will have more market risk than a single stock with a beta = 0.8. Company-specific risk can be reduced by forming a large portfolio, but normally even highly diversified portfolios are subject to market risk. Answers a, b, and c are correct. Answers b and c are correct.
