Assume that security returns are generated by the single-index model, Ri = ai + BiRM + ei = where Ri is the excess return for security i and RM is the market's excess return. The risk-free rate is 2%. Suppose also that there are three securities A, B, and C, characterized by the following data: Security Bi E(Ri) olej) A 1.4 15% 28% B 1.6 17 14 1.8 19 23 a. If om 24%, calculate the variance of returns of securities A, B, and C. X Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Variance 14 x Security A Security B Security C 3 X 10 b. Now assume that there are an infinite number of assets with return characteristics identical to those of A, B, and C, respectively. What will be the mean and variance of excess returns for securities A, B, and C? (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.) Mean Variance % Security A Security B Security C % %
