Question 2: Consider two risky assets, S and B, with the following characteristics: E(rs) 9%, Os 20% E(TB) 5%, OB 5% and PBS - 1 a) Is it possible to combine the two assets a portfolio such that the portfolio has zero risk (i.e. zero standard deviation)? If so, what is the composition of the zero risk portfolio? b) Suppose that in addition to trading in the risky assets S and B, investors can also freely buy, sell or short-sell a risk-free asset with risk-free rate rf. What must be the risk-free rate re? What would happen otherwise?

QUESTION Assume that the expected rates of return and the beta coefficients of the alternatives supplied by an independent analyst are as follows: Security Estimated rate of returns Beta Nescom 5% 1.5 Market 4 1 Pk_Steel 3.5 0.75 T_Bills 3 0 Nawab 1 -0.6 What is a beta coefficient, and how are betas used in risk analysis? Do the expected returns appear to be related to each alternative’s market risk? Is it possible to choose among the alternatives on the basis of the information developed thus far?
If the beta of Asset A is 2.2, the risk free rate is 2.5%, and the expected return on Asset A is 8%, what is the expected return on the market (Note: you want to use CAPM)? Group of answer choices 7.28% 5.00% 8.00% 16.80%
The portfolio with the highest Sharpe Ratio is I. The minimum-variance point on the efficient frontier II. The tangency point of the capital market line and the efficient frontier III. The maximum-return point on the efficient frontier IV. The line with the steepest slope that connects the risk-free rate to the efficient frontier Select one: a. II and IV only b. I and IV only c. III and IV only d. Only IV e. I and II only
Q6. ) A portfolio is formed by investing 32% in Asset-1; 28% in Asset-2; and 40% in Asset-3. The covariances of the three assets with the market portfolio are 24, 36, and 48. The variance of the market portfolio is 40. If the risk - less rate is 7.5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12.5%, what is the expected return of this portfolio, assuming that the CAPM is valid?
