Given the non-satiation and risk aversion assumptions, which of the following five portfolios has the most desirable risk and return characteristics and thus will be chosen by investors ?

QUESTIONS: 1) Assuming that the risk-free rate of return is currently 3,2%, the market risk premium is 6% whereas the beta of HelloFresh SH. stock is 1.8, compute the required rate of return using CAPM. 2) Compute the value of each investment based on your required rate of return and interpret the results comparing with the market values. 3) Which investment would you select? Explain why using appropriate financial jargon (language). 4) Assume HelloFresh SH's CFO Mr. Christian Gaertner expects an earnings upturn resulting increase in growth (rate) of 1%. How does this affect your answers to Question 2 and 3? 5) AACSB Critical Thinking Questions: A) Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds, and the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why do you think they do it?

1. Suppose you have n risky assets you can combine in a portfolio. Each risky asset has an expected return of 8% and a standard deviation of 30%. The risky assets are uncorrelated with each other. (a) Consider an equally weighted portfolio of 2 of these securities. What is its expected return? What will its standard deviation be? (b) Consider an equally weighted portfolio of 30 of these securities. What is its expected return? What will its standard deviation be? (c) Suppose we let the number of these securities increase without bound. That is, n→ ∞o. What happens to the standard deviation of an equally weighted portfolio of these securities as the number of assets in the portfolio becomes extremely large? What will the riskless rate be in this case, and why? -int IDE

(c) Suppose the forecasted return of the portfolio in the question (b) is 13.5%. Show how youcould construct an arbitrage portfolio.
Question #1. Portfolio theory tends to define risky investments in terms of just two factors: expectedreturns and variance (or standard deviation) of those expected returns. What assumptions need to be made about investors and the expected investment returns (one assumption in each case) to justify this ‘two-factor’ approach? Are these assumptions justified in real life? Question #2. ‘The expected return from a portfolio of securities is the average of the expected returns of the individual securities that make up the portfolio, weighted by the value of the securities in the portfolio.’ ‘The expected standard deviation of returns from a portfolio of securities is the average of the standard deviations of returns of the individual securities that make up the portfolio, weighted by the value of the securities in the portfolio.’ Are these statements correct? Question #3. What can be said about the portfolio that is represented by any point along the efficientfrontier of risky investment…
