Assume that you manage a $10.00 million mutual fund that has a beta of 1.05 and a 9.50% required return. The risk-free rate is 2.20%. You now receive another $11.50 million, which you invest in stocks with an average beta of 0.82. What is the required rate of return on the new portfolio? (Hint: You must first find the market risk premium, then find the new portfolio beta.)

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?
Suppose you are given stocks A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 11% and a standard deviation of 4%. Stock B has an expected return of 21% and a standard deviation of 10%. The correlation between them is -1. Suppose it is possible to borrow at the risk-free rate, rf. What must be the value of the risk-free rate? (Hint: Think about constructing a risk-free portfolio from stocks A and B.) (Round answer to 3 decimal places.)
Suppose you have a portfolio that has $290 in stock A with a beta of 1.04, $1, 160 in stock B with a beta of1.34, and $870 in the risk-free asset. You have another $580 to invest. You wish to achieve a beta for yourwhole portfolio to be the same as the market beta. What is the beta of the added security?
As an equity analyst, you have developed the following return forecasts and risk estimates for two different stock mutual funds (Fund T and Fund U): Fund T Fund U Forecasted Return 9.0% 10.0 CAPM Beta 1.20 0.80 a) If the risk-free rate is 3.9 % and the expected market risk premium is 6.1%, calculate the expected return for each mutual fund according to the CAPM. b) Using the estimated expected returns from Part a along with your own return forecasts, explain whether Fund T and Fund U are currently priced to fall directly on the security market line (SML), above the SML, or below the SML. Are Funds T and U overvalued, undervalued, or properly valued?
