Assume the risk-free rate is 8% and the expected rate of return on the market 16%. A share of stock is now selling for $75. It will pay a dividend of $5 per share at the end of the year. If the stock’s beta is 0.80, what must investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year?   A stock has a beta of 1.05 and an expected return of 11.3%. A risk-less asset is currently earning 3.5%.   What is the expected return on a portfolio that is equally invested in the two assets? If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 0.5, what are the portfolio weights? If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 10.2%, what is its beta? If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 2.14, what are the portfolio weights? How do you interpret the weights for the two assets in this case?
