- (a) Mr Adani invests in two risky securities with the following details: Security 1: r1=0.16; 01-0.30; Security 2: r2=0.08; 2=0.25 Where r1 is the expected return of security 1 and o1 is the standard deviation of returns of security 1; r2 is the expected return of security 2 and o2is the standard deviation of returns of security 2 The correlation coefficient (p12) between the returns of the two securities is -0.5 (i) Calculate the expected rate of return(r) and risk(o) for the following portfolios: 1.40% security 1 and 60% security 2 II.80% security 1 and 20% security 2 I (ii) Given a risk-free rate of 4%, describe how Mr. Adani can use a combination of a risk-free instrument and a risky portfolio with an expected return of 15% to achieve an expected return of 26%.5. You are considering investing in two securities, X and Y. The following data are available for the two securities: Security X Security Y Expected return 0.10 0.07 Standard deviation of returns 0.08 0.04 Beta 1.10 0.75Consider the following data for two risk factors (1 and 2) and two securities (J and L):λ0 = 0.07 λ1 = 0.04 λ2 = 0.06bJ1 = 0.10 bJ2 = 1.60 bL1 = 1.80 bL2 = 2.45a. Compute the expected returns for both securities. b. Suppose that Security J is currently priced at $50 while the price of Security L is $15.00.Further, it is expected that both securities will pay a dividend of $0.95 during the coming year.What is the expected price of each security one year from now? c. Compute the correlation between stock A and stock B considering the following data.Standard deviation of stock A = 10 percentStandard deviation of stock B = 17 percentCovariance between the two stocks = 90.
- Hi goodmorning can you answer questions 2 this is a continuation from question one . Question 2 Using the data generated in the previous question 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 graphSuppose you observe the following situation on two securities:Security Beta Expected Return Pete Corp. 0.8 0.12 Repete Corp. 1.1 0.16 Assume these two securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the return on the market?1. Suppose there are three complex securities and three different states as follows: Security So S₁(1) S₁ (2) S₁ (3) 1.2 3 0 0 1.8 4 2 0 1.2 2 1 1 2 10 4 A B C D (a) Find the arbitrage-free price of asset D.

(e) Are the above securities being a good combination in the portfolio? Justify. Note: 1Please clear question answer no Whois one (c), (d) & (e) 2. No need excel formulaMf1. Question: 1 (Assume that two securities, A and B, constitute the market portfolio, their proportions and variances are 0.39, 160, and 0.61, 340, respectively. The covariance of the two securities is 190. Estimate the systematic risk (beta) of the two securities. Note that the covariance of security-/ with the market portfolio is simply the weighted average of the covariances of security-i with all the securities included in the market portfolio.Question 1 Fill the parts in the above table that are shaded in yellow. You will notice that there are nineline items.

- 8. Suppose security X achieves 20% return with half chance and -10% return with half chance. (a) What is the expected return of X? What is the risk (return volatility) of X? (b) Suppose security Y achieves 22% return with 55% chance and -8% return with 45% chance. Suppose you like return and dislike risk (just like all investors). Suppose you can only invest in one of the two securities. Which security (X or Y) would you choose, and why?2Question 2 The expected returns and standard deviation of returns for two securities are as follows: Security Z Security Y Expected Return 15% 35% Standard Deviation 20% 40% The correlation between the returns is +0.25. a) Calculate the expected return and standard deviation for the following portfolios: i) All in Z ii) 0.75 in Z and 0.25 in Y iii) 0.5 in Z and 0.5 in Y iv) 0.25 in Z and 0.75 in Y v) All in Y b) Draw the mean-standard deviation frontier. c) Which portfolios might not be held by an investor who likes high expected return and low standard deviation?
