Given the SML above, what is the maximum you will be willing to pay today for a stock that has a beta of 0.6, if the expected price next year is $48 and it is expected to pay dividends of $1.00 per share? e Cai . t 2 d. If investors become more risk averse, will the expected return for B be higher or lower than 15.5%67 H14HE 2. You are given the following information from a market in equilibrium: E(RA) 15.6 % ; E(Ra)- 12.4 % ; BA-1.2; Ba-0.8 a. What is the equation of the Security Market Line based on the CAPM? 2 ( sa b. What is the equilibrium expected return on a portfolio created from 45% A and 55 % B. 13. c. The estimated expected on a stock C is 14 %. If the beta of C is 1.3, is C overvalued or undervalued?

If the expected return on the market goes up by 1% ( 100 basis points) what will be the new expected return for A? IRi aoc4 (air ) 0.06 40096 3. Suppose asset returns follow a 2-factor APT and you are given the following equilibrium expected rates of return: Security i A E(R) 6.6% bu 0.2 ba -0.1 0.3 -0.2 0.5 12.75% 9.9% 0.6 C What is the equation of the APT? (.06, .075, .09). Ca)o.6 What is the expected return on a portfolio of B and C with zero sensitivity to factor 1? (s 0. eSuppose there is a stcurity, D with sensitivity of zero to factor 1, and 0.2 to factor 2, and expected return of 9.675 % , will you buy it? Why? e (rt) An investor believes that the expected returns above (table) come from the CAPM instead of the APT but agrees with the risk-free rate estimated above. The analyst uses security B to demonstrate his point. What is his estimate of the market portfolio assuming the beta of B is 0.8? (tr a. b. d. 4.
