Assume that the risk-free rate on long-term Treasury bonds is 4.5%. Assume also that the average annual return on the Winslow 5000 is not a good estimate of the market's required returnit is too high. So use 10% as the expected return on the market. Use the SML equation to calculate the two companies' required returns. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Bartman's required return: 1.69%

Reynolds's required return: 1.24%

i. Calculating the new portfolio's required return
Beta Portfolio Weight
Bartman 1.308 20%
Stock A 0.719 10%
Stock B 0.989 45%
Stock C 1.566 25%

Portfolio's beta is:

Portfolio's required return is: %
