Suppose you hold a large, well-diversified portfolio and are considering adding to that portfolio either Stock X or another stock, Stock Y, which has the same beta as Stock X but a higher standard deviation of returns. Stocks X and Y have the same expected returns: Fx fy = 10.6%. Which stock should you choose? You are given the following set of data: HISTORICAL RATES OF RETURN Year NYSE Stock X 1 - 26.5% - 22.0% 2 37.2 15.0 3 23.8 10.0 4 - 7.2 4.0 5 6.6 11.8 6 9 20.5 30.6 18.9 17.6 The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the questions below. X Open spreadsheet a. Use a spreadsheet (or a calculator with a linear regression function) to determine Stock X's beta coefficient. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. Beta = b. Determine the arithmetic average rates of return for Stock X and the NYSE over the period given. Calculate the standard deviations of returns for both Stock X and the NYSE. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. NYSE Stock X Average return,π Avg % % Standard deviation, σ % % c. Assume that the situation during Years 1 to 7 is expected to prevail in the future (i.e., x = TX, Average ↑ M = TM, Average, and both σx and by in the future will equal their past values). Also assume that Stock X is in equilibrium - that is, it plots on the Security Market Line. What is the risk-free rate? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % d. Plot the Security Market Line.
