A stock with a beta of zero would be expected to a. have a rate of return equal to one b. have a rate of return equal to the market rate c. have a rate of return equal to zero d. have a rate of return equal to the risk-free rate

39)  Suppose the beta estimated from the CAPM for stock A is 2.3 and stock B  is 1.1. Which of the following is true?   According to the CAPM, the required rate of return of stock B is higher    The beta of the equally weighted portfolio of stock A and B is 1.6 According to the CAPM, stock A has a higher idiosyncratic risk   None of the above

You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. One of has risky as has a beta of 1.6, and the total portfolios is equally as risky as the market. What's the beta of the second stock?

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) says that the risk premium on a stock is equal to its beta times the market risk premium. ..... True False

The following expected return and the standard deviation of current returns are known:   Security (i) Expected Return Standard Deviation βi A 0.20 0.12 1.1 B 0.12 0.10 0.8 T-Bills 0.05 0 0 Market Portfolio 0.20 0.15 1 Required: Determine which of A or B is over-valued or undervalued.

Consider the following single factor specification: R₁ = a¡ + ßi, Rµ + €i. Where R; is the return on security i, RM is the return on index M (a broad market index) and e, is a zero- mean white noise random variable not correlated with anything. Assume that the single factor specification above correctly describes the return generating processes of all securities. Furthermore, you have the following descriptive statistics for returns of well-diversified Portfolios X, Y, and index M. Portfolio X Portfolio Y Index M Risk-Free Expected return 14% 17% ?? ?? B₁ 1.2 1.6 1 0 a. Assume that the corresponding single factor APT correctly prices Portfolios X and Y. In other words, the expected returns of Portfolios X and Y shown above - 14% and 17% respectively - are equal to their APT-predicted expected returns. Calculate the expected return of Index M and risk-free rate. b. Another well-diversified portfolio Z has a beta, ßz, of 0.8 while its expected return is 10%. Form a portfolio consisting…

The beta of a firm's stock can be estimated as the slope of the best fitting straight line through a plot of the stock's excess returns (on the x axis) versus the excess market returns (on the y axis). True False

Over time beta coefficients tend to approach the beta value of the market portfolio. O True False

Consider the following securities: state Probability A B A B H M L 0.2 0.5 0.3 с 6 10 6 3 7 12 2 5 14 1. The expected payoff of A is: 2. The standard deviation of A is: 3. If the price of A is 3, its expected return is: 4. The covariance between A and B is: 5. The correlation coefficient between A and B is: 6. Is it possible to build a portfolio that has zero variance using A and C? YES/ NO

Beta for stock AAA=0, so, A) stock AAA's return = the return of the market portfolio. B) stock AAA's required return = the risk-free rate C) stock AAA has a promised return, regardless of the market condition. D) stock AAA's return >return of the market portfolio.
