Consider the multifactor APT with two factors. Portfolio A has a beta of 1.5 on factor 1 and a beta of 0.45 on factor 2. The risk premiums on the factor 1 and 2 portfolios are 12% and 5%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return is 3%. The expected return on portfolio A is Answer if no arbitrage opportunities exist.
Using APT model,
Expected return = 0.03 + 1.50(0.12) + 0.45(0.05)
Expected return = 23.25%
