Over the past 70 years, the return on the market (S&P 500 index) exceeded the risk-free rate by an average of 6-8%. In other words, the market risk premium (RM-RRF) has averaged between 6-8%. For your calculations, assume the market risk premium (RM-RRF) is equal to 6.5%. Given your assumed MRP and your answer to #6 above, calculate the required rate of return for your portfolio listed in Table 3. Use the formula from the CAPM (the SML line equation) Rs=RRF + (RM-RRF) Beta. In other words, what is the required rate of return on the portfolio using the CAPM? ________________________(Show your work.)
