Use the following data to explore the risk-return relation and the concept of beta for Apple stock, Kroger stock, and the S&P 500 market index:

Year	Apple Stock Price	Kroger Stock Price	S&P 500 Market Index

2016	$108.41	$31.80	2,043.94
2015	$112.98	$33.37	2,058.20

Part 2: Required Return

Market risk premium: RP_M =	5.60%
Risk-free rate: r_RF =	0.70%

Calculate the expected return on the market according to: Expected Return on Market = Risk-Free Rate + Market Risk Premium. Also calculate the required return for Apple and Kroger according to: Required Return = Risk-Free Rate + (Beta)(Market Risk Premium). (10 Points)

Expected return on the market: r_m =

Apple Required Return =
Kroger Required Return =

If you formed a portfolio that consisted of 60% Apple stock and 40% Kroger stock, calculate the beta. (10 Points)
