11. Portfolio beta and weights Brandon is an analyst at a wealth management firm. One of his clients holds a $7,500 portfolio that consists of four stocks. The investment allocation in the portfolio along with the contribution of risk from each stock is given in the following table: Investment Allocation Beta 0.750 35% Stock Atteric Inc. (AI) Arthur Trust Inc. (AT) Li Corp. (LC) Transfer Fuels Co. (TF) Standard Deviation 23.00% 27.00% 20% 1.500 15% 1.100 30.00% 30% 0.500 34.00% Brandon calculated the portfolio's beta as 0.8775 and the portfolio's expected return as 8.83%.

(Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.) 0.48 percentage points 0.60 percentage points 0.55 percentage points O 0.37 percentage points Analysts' estimates on expected returns from equity investments are based on several factors. These estimations also often include subjective and judgmental factors, because different analysts interpret data in different ways. Suppose, based on the earnings consensus of stock analysts, Brandon expects a return of 6.85% from the portfolio with the new weights. Does he think that the revised portfolio, based on the changes he recommended, is undervalued, overvalued, or fairly valued? O Fairly valued O Overvalued Undervalued Suppose instead of replacing Atteric Inc.'s stock with Transfer Fuels Co.'s stock, Brandon considers replacing Atteric Inc.'s stock with the equal dollar allocation to shares of Company X's stock that has a higher beta than Atteric Inc. If everything else remains constant, the portfolio's beta would , and the required return from the portfolio would
