1. Suppose that there are two independent economic factors,F 1 andF 2 . The risk-free rate is 6%, and all stocks have independent firm-specific components

1. Suppose that there are two independent economic factors,F1andF2. The risk-free rate is 6%, and all stocks have independent firm-specific components with a standard deviation of 45%. The following are well-diversified portfolios:

PortfolioBeta onF1Beta onF2Expected Return
A1.52.031%
B2.20.2 27%

What is the expected returnbeta relationship in this economy?(Do not round intermediate calculations. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

E(rP) =?% + (P1?%) + (P2?%) please solve all the "?"

2.

Assume that security returns are generated by the single-index model,
Ri=i+iRM+ei

whereRiis the excess return for securityiandRMis the markets excess return. The risk-free rate is 2%. Suppose also that there are three securitiesA,B, andC, characterized by the following data:

SecurityiE(Ri)(ei)
A0.810%25%
B1.012 10
C1.214 20
a.IfM= 20%, calculate the variance of returns of securitiesA,B, andC.(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
Variance
SecurityA?
SecurityB?
SecurityC?
b.

Now assume that there are an infinite number of assets with return characteristics identical to those ofA,B, andC, respectively. What will be the mean and variance of excess returns for securitiesA,B, andC?(Enter the variance answers as a percent squared and mean as a percentage. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

MeanVariance
SecurityA?%?
SecurityB?%?
SecurityC?%?

slove all the "?" as well please show all the works, thak you here I upload the fomula sheet for you thank you
