a.

Summary Introduction

Adequate information:

Standard deviation (σ) for both markets = 10%

Expected return on every security in both markets = 10%

Beta factor in the first market (ß1) = 1.5

Beta factor in the second market (ß2) = 0.5

The return for each security, i, in the first market = R1i=0.10+1.5F+ε1i

The return for each security, j, in the second market = R2j=0.10+0.5F+ε2i

To compute: The market that would be preferred by risk-averse to invest.

Introduction: Portfolio variance refers to the measurement of the dispersion of returns. Standard deviation refers to the measurement of deviation of actual returns from average returns.

Portfolio betas Personal Finance Problem Rose Berry is attempting to evaluate two possible portfolios, which consist of the same five assets held in different proportions. She is particularly interested in using beta to compare the risks of the portfolios, so she has gathered the data shown in the following table: a. Calculate the betas for portfolios A and B. b. Compare the risks of these portfolios to the market as well as to each other. Which portfolio is more risky? a. The beta for portfolio A is (Round to four decimal places.) The beta for portfolio B is (Round to four decimal places.) b. Which portfolio is more risky? (Select the best answer below.) A. Portfolio B B. Portfolio A ○ C. They are the same.
