Question 2: 10 marks Consider the information given in the Table 2A and complete Table 2B. From the completed Table 2B, use the information to grpahically present the Security Market Line (SML). Compute the slope of this line. Hints: i) ii) When 100% money is invested in asset X (portfolio weight 1), the beta of the portfolio is 0.85 Since the risk-free asset is, well, risk-free, its beta will be zero Table 2A Expected return for asset x (%) 13 Risk free rate (%) 5 Beta of asset X 0.85 Table 2B Proportion of portfolio in Asset X 0.00 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 1.25 Expected Portfolio portfolio beta return 2

Consider the information given in the Table 2A and complete Table 2B. From the completed Table 2B, use the information to grpahically present the Security Market Line (SML). Compute the slope of this line. Hints: i) When 100% money is invested in asset X (portfolio weight = 1), the beta of the portfolio is 0.85ii) Since the risk-free asset is, well, risk-free, its beta will be zero

Consider the information given in the Table 2A and complete Table 2B. From the completed Table 2B, use the information to graphically present the Security Market Line (SML). Compute the slope of thisline.Hints:i) When 100% money is invested in asset X (portfolio weight = 1), the beta of the portfolio is 0.85ii) Since the risk-free asset is, well, risk-free, its beta will be zero

You are given the following information concerning three portfolios, the market portfolio, and the risk-free asset: 8p 1.70 1.30 0.85 1.00 Portfolio X Y Z Market Risk-free Rp 11.5% 10.5 7.2 10.9 4.6 R-squared op 38.00% 33.00 23.00 28.00 0 Assume that the correlation of returns on Portfolio Y to returns on the market is 0.76. What percentage of Portfolio Y's return is driven by the market? Note: Enter your answer as a decimal not a percentage. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
