Fill the parts in the above table that are shaded in yellow. You will notice that there are nine line items. Question 2 Using the data generated in the previous question (Question 1); a) Plot the Security Market Line (SML) b) Superimpose the CAPM’s required return on the SML c) Indicate which investments will plot on, above and below the SML? d) If an investment’s expected return (mean return) does not plot on the SML, what does it show? Identify undervalued/overvalued investments from the graph Question 3 From the information generated in the previous two questions; a) Identify two investment alternatives that can be combined in a portfolio. Assume a 50- 50 investment allocation in each investment alternative. b) Compute the expected return of the portfolio thus formed. c) Compute the portfolio’s beta. Is the portfolio aggressive or defensive?
Risk and return
Before understanding the concept of Risk and Return in Financial Management, understanding the two-concept Risk and return individually is necessary.
Capital Asset Pricing Model
Capital asset pricing model, also known as CAPM, shows the relationship between the expected return of the investment and the market at risk. This concept is basically used particularly in the case of stocks or shares. It is also used across finance for pricing assets that have higher risk identity and for evaluating the expected returns for the assets given the risk of those assets and also the cost of capital.
