What is the standard deviation of returns for Stock B?2. Consider stocks A and B with the following monthly returns: Stock 1 2 3 4 A -2% 3% 1% 6% 4% B 1% -2% 4% 5% 3% a. What is the expected return and risk of a portfolio composed of 30% A and 70% B? b. What is the contribution of each stock to portfolio's return and risk? c. What is the structure of the minimum risk portfolio? Compute its expected return and risk.The index model has been estimated for stocks A and B with the following results: RA 0.01 +0.5RM + A RB = 0.02 +1.3RM + eB standard deviation of the market is 0.25, standard deviation of eA is 0.2 and standard deviation of eB is 0.10 What is the covariance betwween the returns on stocks A and B?.

What are the required rates of return on Stocks X and Y?c. What is the required rate of return on a portfolio consisting of 80% of Stock X and 20% of Stock Y?Suppose a portfolio is given as follows: Securities Weight BPW CJW AJT O 6.0% O 5.0% 0.3 O 5.1% 0.4 O 7.0% Onone listed Expected Standard Return Deviation 6% 7% 0.3 5% What is the expected return of the portfolio (to 1 decimal place)? 6% 4% 3%We have the following information on Stocks A and B. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the market risk premium is 7.5%. Assume that the market portfolio is correctly priced.

- Which of the following portfolios constitute the efficient set: Portfolio Expected return (%) Standard deviation (%) 1 10 12 2 8 10 3 20 18 4 15 11 5 22 20 6 18 15 7 15 12You are given the following information concerning three portfolios, the market portfolio, and the risk-free asset: 8p 1.70 1.30 0.85 1.00 Portfolio X Y Z Market Risk-free Rp 11.5% 10.5 7.2 10.9 4.6 R-squared op 38.00% 33.00 23.00 28.00 0 Assume that the correlation of returns on Portfolio Y to returns on the market is 0.76. What percentage of Portfolio Y's return is driven by the market? Note: Enter your answer as a decimal not a percentage. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.Consider the following information for Stocks A, B, and C. The returns on the three stocks, while positively correlated, are not perfectly correlated. The risk-free rate is 5.50%. Stock A B C Expected Return 10.00% 10.90% 11.80% Standard Deviation 15% 15% 15% Beta 1.5 1.8 2.1 Let , be the expected return of stock i, ra represent the risk-free rate, b represent the Beta of a stock, and TM represent the market return. Using SML equation, you can solve for the market risk premium which, in this case, equals approximately The beta for Fund P is approximately Consider Fund P, which has one third of its funds invested in each of stock A, B, and C. You have the market risk premium, the beta for Fund P, and the risk-free rate. Hint: Recall that because the market is in equilibrium, the required rate of return is equal to the expected rate of return for each stock. This information implies that the required rate of return for Fund P is approximately Which of the following is the reason why the…
