1. Here are data of two companies. The T-Bill rate is 8% and the market risk premium is 2%. Company Data Data Forecasted Return Company Parco 60% Company Ronald 15% Standard Deviation of Returns Beta 145% 225% 2.5 X (a) Answer the following questions: i. (2 points) Is "Company Parco" a good-buy? Answer this question by comparing the forecasted return with the fair return by CAPM (i.e. Find the alpha). ii. (2 points) If "Company Ronald is overpriced, find the range of value of x. Now due to the market mechanism, the price of both Company is driven back to the correct one according to CAPM. Now x is revealed as 4. Also, assume the only covariance between Company Parco and Company Ronald are their relationship to the market portfolio. (b) Given that the covariance of the return of Company Ronald and the market portfolio is 0.7. i. (3 points) What is the covariance of the return of Company Parco and the market portfolio? ii. (1 point) Find the Sharpe Ratio of the market portfolio. (c) Now you create a portfolio by mixing the investment in Parco, Ronald, and the market portfolio. You invest 30% in Parco and 40% in Ronald. i. (2 points) What is the expected return of this portfolio? ii. (4 points) What is the standard deviation of this portfolio? iii.
