2. This problem demonstrates one approach to show R* +R{Re* = Rƒ. (a) Write any return R as R* + (R-R) and use the fact that 1- Re* is orthogonal to excess returns-recall that Re* represents the expectation operator on the space of excess returns to show that 1 X (1 - R*) E[R*] is an SDF. (b) When there is a risk-free asset, X defined above, being spanned by a constant and an excess return, is in the span of the returns and hence must equal X*. Use this fact to demonstrate R* + R+Re* = Rƒ. (Hint: E [(R¢*)²] = E[Re*] may be useful.)
