Suppose you are the money manager of an investment fund. The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas:

$\backslash$table$[[$Stock$,$Investment,Beta$],[$A$,$$$357,513,1\mathrm{.}14],[$B$,$$$630,946,0\mathrm{.}33],[$C$,$$$1,030,241,0\mathrm{.}57],[$D$,$$$1,766,104,1\mathrm{.}65]]$

If the market's required rate of return is $17\mathrm{.}59\%$ and the risk$-$free rate is $0\mathrm{.}91\%,$ what is the required rate of return of the portfolio?

Given the following information, determine the beta coefficient for Stock $L$ that is consistent with equilibrium: $E(r)=18\%,$ risk free rate $=0\mathrm{.}7\%,$ rate or return for market $=10\mathrm{.}2\%.$ State your answer to $4$ decimal places.

Question $9$

$10pts$

Beale Manufacturing Company has a beta of $1\mathrm{.}56,$ and Foley Industries has a beta of $0\mathrm{.}36,$ the required return on an index fund that holds the entire stock market is $17\mathrm{.}8\%,$ and the risk$-$free rate of return is $2\mathrm{.}6\%.$ By how much does the required return on Beal's stock exceed the required return on the Foley's stock? State your answer to $2$ decimal places.
