lower beta than Stock X, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense.

Alternative solution: First, calculate the return for each stock using the CAPM equation
[rRF + (rM – rRF)b], and then calculate the weighted average of these returns.
rRF = 6% and (rM – rRF) = 8%.

In equilibrium:

rJ = rRF + (rM – rRF)b
12.5%= 4.5% + (10.5% – 4.5%)b
b = 1.33.
8-9

We know that bR = 1.50, bS = 0.75, rM = 13%, rRF = 7%.
ri = rRF + (rM – rRF)bi = 7% + (13% – 7%)bi.
rR = 7% + 6%(1.50)= 16.0%
rS = 7% + 6%(0.75)= 11.5
4.5%

8-10

An index fund will have a beta of 1.0. If rM is 12.0% (given in the problem) and the riskfree rate is 5%, you can calculate the market risk premium (RPM) calculated as rM – rRF
as follows:
r = rRF + (RPM)b
12.0%= 5% + (RPM)1.0
7.0% = RPM.
Now, you can use the RPM, the rRF, and the two stocks’ betas to calculate their required
returns.

Farley:

rRF + (RPM)b

The difference in their required returns is:
15.15% – 10.95% = 4.2%.

rRF = r* + IP = 2.5% + 3.5% = 6%.

a. ri = rRF + (rM – rRF)bi = 9% + (14% – 9%)1.3 = 15.5%.
b. 1. rRF increases to 10%:
rM increases by 1 percentage point, from 14% to 15%.
ri = rRF + (rM – rRF)bi = 10% + (15% – 10%)1.3 = 16.5%.
2. rRF decreases to 8%:
rM decreases by 1%, from 14% to 13%.
ri = rRF + (rM – rRF)bi = 8% + (13% – 8%)1.3 = 14.5%.
c. 1. rM increases to 16%:
ri = rRF + (rM – rRF)bi = 9% + (16% – 9%)1.3 = 18.1%.
2. rM decreases to 13%:
ri = rRF + (rM – rRF)bi = 9% + (13% – 9%)1.3 = 14.2%.

8-13

a. Using Stock X (or any stock):
9% = rRF + (rM – rRF)bX
9% = 5.5% + (rM – rRF)0.8
(rM – rRF) = 4.375%.
b. bQ = 1/3(0.8) + 1/3(1.2) + 1/3(1.6)
bQ = 0.2667 + 0.4000 + 0.5333
bQ = 1.2.
c. rQ = 5.5% + 4.375%(1.2)
rQ = 10.75%.
d. Since the returns on the 3 stocks included in Portfolio Q are not perfectly positively
correlated, one would expect the standard deviation of the portfolio to be less than
15%.

excluding the stock with the beta equal to 1.0 is 22.4 – 1.0 = 21.4, so the
beta of the portfolio excluding this stock is b = 21.4/19 = 1.1263. The beta of the
new portfolio is:
1.1263(0.95) + 1.75(0.05) = 1.1575  1.16.

Step 1:

Determine the market risk premium from the CAPM:
0.12= 0.0525 + (rM – rRF)1.25
(rM – rRF) = 0.054.

Step 2: Calculate the beta of the new portfolio:
($500,000/$5,500,000)(0.75) + ($5,000,000/$5,500,000)(1.25) = 1.2045.
Step 3: Calculate the required return on the new portfolio:
5.25% + (5.4%)(1.2045) = 11.75%.

8-17

After additional investments are made, for the entire fund to have an expected return
of 13%, the portfolio must have a beta of 1.5455 as shown below:
13% = 4.5% + (5.5%)b
b = 1.5455.
Since the fund’s beta is a weighted average of the betas of all the individual
investments, we can calculate the required beta on the additional investment as
follows:

($20,000,000)(1.5)
$25,000,000
1.5455
=
1.5455
= 1.2 + 0.2X
0.3455
= 0.2X
X= 1.7275.

a. ($1 million)(0.5) + ($0)(0.5) = $0.5 million.
b. You would probably take the sure $0.5 million.
c. Risk averter.
d. 1. ($1.15 million)(0.5) + ($0)(0.5) = $575,000, or an expected profit of $75,000.
2. $75,000/$500,000 = 15%.
3. This depends on the individual’s degree of risk aversion.
4. Again, this depends on the individual.
5. The situation would be unchanged if the stocks’ returns were perfectly
positively correlated. Otherwise, the stock portfolio would have the same
expected return as the single stock (15%) but a lower standard deviation. If the
correlation coefficient between each pair ofstocks was a negative one, the
portfolio would be virtually riskless. Since
for stocks is generally in the range
of +0.35, investing in a portfolio of stocks would definitely be an improvement
over investing in the single stock.

ˆrY

rRF = 6%; RPM = 5%.
a. CVX = 35%/10% = 3.5. CVY = 25%/12.5% = 2.0.
b. For diversified investors the relevant risk is measured by beta. Therefore, the stock
with the higher beta is more risky. Stock Y has the higher beta so it is more risky
than Stock X.
c. rX = 6% + 5%(0.9)
= 10.5%.

rY = 6% + 5%(1.2)
= 12%.
ˆrX

d. rX = 10.5%;
ˆrY
rY = 12%;

= 10%.
= 12.5%.

Stock Y would be most attractive to a diversified investor since its expected return
of 12.5% is greater than its required return of 12%.
e. bp = ($7,500/$10,000)0.9 + ($2,500/$10,000)1.2
= 0.6750 + 0.30
= 0.9750.
rp = 6% + 5%(0.975)
= 10.875%.
f.

If RPM increases from 5% to 6%, the stock with the highest beta will have the
largest increase in its required return. Therefore, Stock Y will have the greatest
increase.
Check:

8-20

rX = 6% + 6%(0.9)
= 11.4%.

Increase 10.5% to 11.4%.

rY = 6% + 6%(1.2)
= 13.2%.

Increase 12% to 13.2%.

e. A risk-averse investor would choose the portfolio over either Stock A or Stock B
alone, since the portfolio offers the same expected return but with less risk. This
result occurs because returns on A and B are not perfectly positively correlated (rAB
= 0.88).
ˆrM

8-21

a.

= 0.1(-28%) + 0.2(0%) + 0.4(12%) + 0.2(30%) + 0.1(50%) = 13%.

rRF = 6%. (given)
Therefore, the SML equation is:
ri = rRF + (rM – rRF)bi = 6% + (13% – 6%)bi = 6% + (7%)bi.
b. First, determine the fund’s beta, bF. The weights are the percentage of funds
invested in each stock:
A = $160/$500 = 0.32.
B = $120/$500 = 0.24.
C = $80/$500 = 0.16.
D = $80/$500 = 0.16.
E = $60/$500 = 0.12.
bF = 0.32(0.5) + 0.24(1.2) + 0.16(1.8) + 0.16(1.0) + 0.12(1.6)
= 0.16 + 0.288 + 0.288 + 0.16 + 0.192 = 1.088.
Next, use bF = 1.088 in the SML determined in Part a:
ˆrF

= 6% + (13% – 6%)1.088 = 6% + 7.616% = 13.616%.
c. rN = Required rate of return on new stock = 6% + (7%)1.5 = 16.5%.
ˆrN
An expected return of 15% on the new stock is below the 16.5% required
rate of
return on an investment with a risk of b = 1.5. Since rN = 16.5% >
= 15%, the
new stock should not be purchased. The expected rate of return that would make the
fund indifferent to purchasing the stock is 16.5%.
