Suppose the SML has a risk-free rate of 5% and an expected market return of 15%. Now suppose that the SML shifts, changing slope, so that kRF is still 5% but kM is now 16%. What does this shift suggest about investors’ risk aversion? If the slope were to change downward, what would that suggest?
2C)
Assume that the CAPM holds in the economy. The following data is available about the market portfolio, the riskless rate, and two risky assets, W and X: The market portfolio has a standard deviation equals to 10%, stock W has an expected return equals to 16%, standard deviation equals to 12%, and beta equals to one, stock X has a standard deviation equals to 6% and beta equals to 0.7. The risk-free rate is 3%.
What is the expected return and the beta of the market portfolio?
What is the expected return on asset X?
Does asset W lie on the Capital Market Line? Explain why or why not.
Suppose you invested $100,000 in these two stocks. The beta of your portfolio is 1.25. How much did you invest in each stock? What is the expected return of this portfolio?
a. Calculate the required rate of return for an asset that has a beta of
1.19,
given a risk-free rate of
2.7%
and a market return of
8.9%.
b. If investors have become more risk-averse due to recent geopolitical events, and the market return rises to
12.1%,
what is the required rate of return for the same asset?
