CAPM AND PORTFOLIO RETURN You have been managing a $5 million portfolio that has a beta of 1.25 and a required rate of return of 12%. The current risk-free rate is 5.25%. Assume that you receive another $500,000. If you invest the money in a stock with a beta of 0.75, what will be the required return on your $5.5 million portfolio?
You have been managing a $5 million portfolio that hasa beta of 1.15 and a required rate of return of 11.475%. The current risk-free rate is 4%.Assume that you receive another $500,000. If you invest the money in a stock with a beta of0.85, what will be the required return on your $5.5 million portfolio?
You want your portfolio beta to be 1.30. Currently, your portfolio consists of $100 invested in stock A with a beta of 1.4 and $300 in stock B with a beta of .6. You have another $400 to invest and want to divide it between an asset with a beta of 1.8 and a risk-free asset. How much should you invest in the risk-free asset?
