The expected return of a portfolio is 11%. If the rate of return on risk-free asset is 5% and you expect market return to be 14%, what the is the beta of this portfolio under the assumption that CAPM holds?
The formula for Capital asset Pricing Model is
Exp return= Risk free rate+Beta*(Market return- Riskfree rate)
Beta=(Exp return-Risk free rate)/(Market return-Riskfree Rate)
= (11-5)/(14-5)
BETA=0.67
Beta is unitless.
