Your Company's manager has a $40 million portfolio with a beta of 1.00. The risk-free rate is 4.25%, and the market risk premium is 6.00%. The manager expects to receive an additional $60 million which she plans to invest in additional stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants the fund's required and expected return to be 13.00%. What must the average beta of the new stocks be to achieve the target required rate of return?

A manager has a $200.0 million portfolio with a beta of 1.40. The risk-free rate is 4.0%, and the market risk premium is 5.0%. The manager expects to receive an additional $50.0 million which they plan to invest in several stocks. After investing the additional funds, they wants the fund's required return to be 12%. What is the required return on their portfolio (before they receive the additional funds)? If they want the fund's required return to be 12% (after they invest the additional $50 million), what must be the beta of the new portfolio? What must the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio be to achieve the desired required rate of return? please solve in excel.
A mutual fund manager has a $450 million portfolio with a beta of 1.20. The risk-free rate is 2.5%, and the market risk premium is 5.00%. The manager expects to receive an additional $150 million which she plans to invest in several different stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants to reduce the portfolio's risk level so that once the additional funds are invested the portfolio's required return will be 7.50%. What must the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio be (not the new portfolio's beta) to achieve the desired required rate of return?
You are working on creating a portfolio that mimics a fully diversified market index. Assume that you have $1 million fund to invest. You plan to allocate $195,000 and $365,000 of your fund to invest in stock A and B, respectively. To achieve your goal, you need to add an additional risky stock C and a risk-free bond to your portfolio. Assume that betas for stock A, B, and C are 0.80, 1.09, and 1.23, respectively. How much would you invest in stock C and risk-free bond?
Assume that you are the portfolio manager of the SF Fund, a $3 million hedge fund that contains the following stocks. The required rate of return on the market is 11.00% and the risk-free rate is 5.00%. What rate of return should investors expect (and require) on this fund? (Hint: first calculate the weights, then calculate the beta of the portfolio and then calculate the required return of the portfolio.) Show your work. Stock Amount Weights Beta A $1,075,000 ? 1.20 B 675,000 ? 0.50 C 750,000 ? 1.40 D 500,000 ? 0.75 $3,000,000
A mutual fund manager has a $20 million portfolio with a beta of 1.7.The risk-free rate is 4.5%, and the market risk premium is 7%. The manager expects toreceive an additional $5 million, which she plans to invest in a number of stocks. Afterinvesting the additional funds, she wants the fund’s required return to be 15%. Whatshould be the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio?
You have just invested in a portfolio of three stocks. The amount of money that you invested in each stock and its beta are summarized below. Stock Investment Beta A $222,000 1.41 B 333,000 0.53 C 555,000 1.30 Calculate the beta of the portfolio and use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to compute the expected rate of return for the portfolio. Assume that the expected rate of return on the market is 12 percent and that the risk-free rate is 7 percent. (Round beta answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 52.750 and expected rate of return answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75%.) Beta of the portfolio enter the beta rounded to 3 decimal places Expected rate of return enter percentages rounded to 2 decimal places %
A mutual fund manager has a $80 million portfolio with a beta of 2.0. The risk-free rate is 4.3%, and the market risk premium is 5.5%. The manager expects to receive an additional $20 million, which she plans to invest in a number of stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants the fund's required return to be 14%.

Assume that you manage a $10.00 million mutual fund that has a beta of 1.05 and a 9.50% required return. The risk-free rate is 2.20%. You now receive another $11.50 million, which you invest in stocks with an average beta of 0.82. What is the required rate of return on the new portfolio? (Hint: You must first find the market risk premium, then find the new portfolio beta.)
Suppose that a mutual fund manager has a $20 million portfolio with a beta of 1.7. Also suppose that the risk free rate is 4.5% and the market risk premium is 5%. The manager expects to receive an additional $5 million, which is to be invested in a number of new stocks to add to the portfolio. After these stocks are added, the manager would like the fund's required rate of return to be 12%. For notation, let represent the required return, let RF represent the risk free rate, let b represent the beta of a group of stocks, and m represent the market return. According to the video, which equation most closely describes the security market line (SML)? OT=TRE+bx (M + TRF) O TRE-6x (rM - TRF) Or=TRF + TM-TRF ORF + bx (rM - TRF) Hint: Recall that the manager wants the new required rate of return for the portfolio to remain at 12%. Using the equation you just identified, and plugging in the relevant information, yields a beta of the portfolio, after the new stocks have been added, of…
