Question 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) 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 Expected portfolio Portfolio beta return Proportion of portfolio in Asset X 0.00 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 1.25 2

Can you answer please and kindly show detailed human working.

1.    calculate the beta of the portfolio below consisting of assets x, y and z. discuss the meaning of the number calculated and include in your answer what type of investor is likely to invest in this portfolio. Asset Weight (Wi) Beta (βi) X 0.30 0.09 Y 0.50 0.90 Z 0.20 0.16

The optimal proportion of the risky asset in the complete portfolio is given by the equation below y*= E(Rp− Rf) A0² For each of the variables on the right side of the equation, discuss the impact of the variable's effect on y* and why the nature of the relationship makes sense intuitively. Assume the investor is risk averse

What is the equation for the Security Market Line? Define each term. If an asset has a beta of 2.0, what type of return should it realize compared to the market portfolio?

4. Suppose that there are 2 assets with ri 012 = 0.005. = 0.20, 01 = = 0.40, 2 = 0.10, 02 = 0.25 and (a) If ro = 0.02, what are the market portfolio return and variance? What are the corre- sponding weights (i.e. how much to invest in asset 1, asset 2, and the risk-free asset to get the market portfolio)? Answer. (b) If ro 0.05, what are the market portfolio return and variance? What are the corre- sponding weights? Answer.

Question 1 Fill the parts in the above table that are shaded in yellow. You will notice that there are nineline items.  Question 2Using the data generated in the previous question (Question 1);a) Plot the Security Market Line (SML) b) Superimpose the CAPM’s required return on the SML c) Indicate which investments will plot on, above and below the SML? d) If an investment’s expected return (mean return) does not plot on the SML, what doesit show? Identify undervalued/overvalued investments from the graph

PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS Question 1  Fill the parts in the above table that are shaded in yellow. You will notice that there are nine line items.  Question 2  Using the data generated in the previous question (Question 1);a) Plot the Security Market Line (SML)  b) Superimpose the CAPM’s required return on the SML  c) Indicate which investments will plot on, above and below the SML?  d) If an investment’s expected return (mean return) does not plot on the SML, what does it show? Identify undervalued/overvalued investments from the graph  Question 3  From the information generated in the previous two questions; a) Identify two investment alternatives that can be combined in a portfolio. Assume a 50-50 investment allocation in each investment alternative. b) Compute the expected return of the portfolio thus formed. c) Compute the portfolio’s beta. Is the portfolio aggressive or defensive?

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?
