In a recent closely contested lawsuit, Apex sued Bpex for patent infringement. The jury came back today with its decision. The rate of return on Apex was rA = 3.1%. The rate of return on Bpex was only rB = 2.5%. The market today responded to very encouraging news about the unemployment rate, and rM = 3%. The historical relationship between returns on these stocks and the market portfolio has been estimated from index model regressions as: Apex: rA = 0.5% + 1.1rM Bpex: rB = 0.1% + 0.8rM a. What is the predicted returns for Apex & Bpex? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
