a.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The Equation of Returns of Portfolio when 5 stocks are placed.
Introduction:
Systematic Risk is acknowledged as non-diversifiable risks or market risk. Such category of risk is not intended to be separated by distinguishing assets. Systematic risk leads on how a particular investment in a distinguished portfolio that support financially to the total or aggregate risk of a business's financial funding. Unsystematic Risk is acknowledged as diversifiable or residual or particular risk. The proportion of a corporation’s total or aggregate risk which can be barred by holding such risks in a distinguished or as diversified asset portfolio.

Suppose Stock A has B = 1 and an expected
return of 11%. Stock B has a B = 1.5. The risk-
free rate is 5%. Also consider that the
covariance between B and the market is 0.135.
Assume the CAPM is true. Answer the following

b) Find the equation of the Capital Market Line
(CML).
c) Build a portfolio Q with B = 0 using actions A
and B. Indicate weights (interpret your result)
and expected return of portfolio Q.
