8. Portfolio beta and weights Gregory 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: Stock Investment Allocation Beta Standard Deviation Atteric Inc. (AI) 35% 0.900 53.00% Arthur Trust Inc. (AT) 20% 1.400 57.00% Lobster Supply Corp. (LSC) 15% 1.100 60.00% Transfer Fuels Co. (TF) 30% 0.500 64.00% Gregory calculated the portfolios beta as 0.910 and the portfolios required return as 12.8250%. Gregory thinks it will be a good idea to reallocate the funds in his clients portfolio. He recommends replacing Atteric Inc.s shares with the same amount in additional shares of Transfer Fuels Co. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 7.50%. According to Gregorys recommendation, assuming that the market is in equilibrium, how much will the portfolios required return change? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.) 1.0500 percentage points 1.2075 percentage points 1.3020 percentage points 0.8190 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.

Does he think that the required return as compared to expected returns is undervalued, overvalued, or fairly valued? Overvalued Undervalued Fairly valued Suppose instead of replacing Atteric Inc.s stock with Transfer Fuels Co.s stock, Gregory considers replacing Atteric Inc.s stock with the equal dollar allocation to shares of Company Xs stock that has a higher beta than Atteric Inc. If everything else remains constant, the required return from the portfolio would . Continue without saving
