The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year.   a. If you require a risk premium of 7%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)         b. Suppose that the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found in (a). What will be the expected rate of return on the portfolio? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)         c. Now suppose that you require a risk premium of 12%. What is the price that you will be willing to pay? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
