Find the weights of the two pure factor portfolios constructed from the following three securities: r₁ = .06 + 2F₁ + 2F₂ 1₂ = .05 + 3F₁ + 1F₂ 73 = .04 + 3F₁ + 0F₂ Then write out the factor equations for the two pure factor portfolios, and determine their risk premiums. Assume a risk-free rate that is implied by the factor equations and no arbitrage.

Write out the equation for the Capital Market Line (CML), and draw it on the graph. Interpret the plotted CML. Now add a set of indifference curves and illustrate how an investors optimal portfolio is some combination of the risky portfolio and the risk-free asset. What is the composition of the risky portfolio?
Draw the profit diagram of the portfolio above (and clearly state any assumptions you make).Recall that the profit is equal to the difference between the payoff of the portfolio at expiry (maturity) date and the cost of the portfolio. Is the cost of the portfolio positive?

Assume that security returns are generated by the single-index model,Ri = αi + βiRM + eiwhere Ri is the excess return for security i and RM is the market’s excess return. The risk-free rate is 2%. Suppose also that there are three securities A, B, and C, characterized by the following data: Security βi E(Ri) σ(ei) A 0.7 7 % 20 % B 0.9 9 6 C 1.1 11 15 a. If σM = 16%, calculate the variance of returns of securities A, B, and C. b. Now assume that there are an infinite number of assets with return characteristics identical to those of A, B, and C, respectively. What will be the mean and variance of excess returns for securities A, B, and C? (Enter the variance answers as a percent squared and mean as a percentage. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
According to CAPM, the expected rate of return of a portfolio with a beta of 1.0 and an alpha of 0 is:a. Between rM and rf .b. The risk-free rate, rf .c. β(rM − rf).d. The expected return on the market, rM.
Assume that using the Security Market Line(SML) the required rate of return(RA)on stock A is found to be halfof the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourthof the required return on A. Return on market portfolio is denoted by RM. Find the ratioof betaof A(A) tobeta of B(B). Thank you for your help.
The market portfolio (M) has the expected rate of return E(rM) = 0.12. Security A is traded in the market. We know that E(rA) = 0.17 and βA = 1.5. (1) What is the rate of return of the risk-free asset (rf)? (2) Security B is also traded in the market. βB = 0.8. Then what is “fair” expected rate of return of security B according to the CAPM? (3) Security C is a third security traded in the market. βC = 0.6, and from the market price, investors calculate E(rC) = 0.1. Is C overpriced or underpriced? What is αC?
Show detailed steps to solve the following question. Consider a portfolio comprised of three securities in the following proportions and with the indicated security beta. a.) What is the portfolios beta? b.) Wht is the portfolios expected return?
Which of the following statements regarding the graph of the SML is most accurate? Select one O A. O B. B-1.0 The beta of Portfolios A, B, and C are identical as they fall directly on the line. The expected return of Portfolio C is the difference between the market's expected return and the risk-free rate. O C. Portfolio A has lower systematic risk than Portfolio B. OD. The slope of the line is the market risk premium.
