What is (i) the beta of a portfolio and (ii) the expected return of the portfolio? a None of the above b (i) 0.97 and (ii) 9.82% c (i) 1.23 and (ii) 9.82% d (i) 1.23 and (ii) 11.38% e (i) 0.97 and (ii) 11.38%
Suppose the risk free rate is 5% and the market portfolio has an expected return of 10%. Portfolio Z has a correlation coefficient with the market of 0.1 and a variance of 0.16. The market portfolio has a variance of 0.09. According to the CAPM, what is the beta of portfolio Z?
There are three stocks, A, B, and C, with the following expected return, volatility, and correlation data. You are asked to generate a mean-variance portfolio, the expected return of which should be no less than 8%. What’s your optimal allocation (portfolio weights) for those three stocks?
Consider the following information on a portfolio of three stocks: Probability of State Stock A Rate of Economy of Return State of Economy Boom Normal Bust .25 .60 15 a.
