You are given the following information concerning three portfolios, the market portfolio, and the risk- free asset: Portfolio X Y Z Market Risk-free Rp 14.5% R-squared 13.5 9.1 10.7 5.4 op 36% 31 21 26 0 6p 1.60 1.30 .80 1.00 0 Assume that the correlation of returns on Portfolio Y to returns on the market is 72. What percentage of Portfolio Y's return is driven by the market? (Enter your answer as a decimal not a percentage. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

b) Suppose that you observe the following information in Table 2 for stocks A and B: Table 2 Expected Return (%) 11% Stock Beta A 0.8 В 14% 1.5 The risk-free rate of return is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market index is 12%. Using the Single-Index Model, calculate the alpha of both stocks. Show your calculations. Explain what the alpha of the single-factor model represents and interpret your results.

Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true? 1) The real rate of interest is determined by the supply and demand for funds. II) The real rate of interest is determined by the expected rate of inflation. III) The real rate of interest is unaffected by actions of the Fed. IV) The real rate of interest is equal to the nominal interest rate plus the expected rate of inflation. III and IV only. I only. OII and III only. O, II, III, and IV only. OI and III only.

You have estimated the following probability distributions of expected future returns for Stocks X and Y: Stock X Stock Y Probability Return Probability Return 0.1   -12 % 0.2   4 % 0.1   11   0.2   7   0.3   14   0.3   11   0.3   30   0.2   17   0.2   40   0.1   30   What is the expected rate of return for Stock X? Stock Y? Round your answers to one decimal place.Stock X:   % Stock Y:   % What is the standard deviation of expected returns for Stock X? For Stock Y? Round your answers to two decimal places.Stock X:   % Stock Y:   % Which stock would you consider to be riskier? is riskier because it has a  standard deviation of returns.

A stock portfolio has the following returns under the market conditions listed below. Market Condition Probability Return Bull 0.4 $ 200 Stable 0.3 $100 Bear 0.3 - $100 Referring to Scenario 20-4, what is the EMV?

b. Consider the following information about three stocks: Probability of State of i. ii. iii. iv. State of Economy V. Boom Recession Economy 0.40 0.60 From the information given, you are required to answer the following questions. Compute the Standard Deviation for each stock. Compute the Coefficient Variation for each stock. Based on your computation in part (i) and (ii), which stock is riskier? Explain your answer. Rate of Return if State Occurs Stock Hang Stock Hang Jebat 7% 13% Tuah 28% (5%) Stock Hang Kasturi 15% 3% Assume that you have RM14,000 invested in Stock Hang Jebat whose beta is 1.5, RM19,000 invested in Stock Hang Kasturi whose beta is 2.5 and RM17,000 invested in Stock Hang Tuah whose beta is 1.6. Determine what is the beta of this portfolio. Based on your answer in part (iv), compute the required rate of return for this portfolio, given that the market rate of return is 13% and risk-free rate is 5%.

Consider the following probability distribution for stocks A and B: State Probability Return on Stock A Return on Stock B 1 0.10 10% 8% 2 0.20 13% 7% 3 0.20 12% 6% 4 0.30 14% 9% 5 0.20 15% 8% The coefficient of correlation between A and B is:
