Consider the following information for Stocks A, B, and C. The
returns on the three stocks are positively correlated, but they are
not perfectly correlated. (that is, each of the correlation
coefficients is between 0 and 1).
Stock Expected Return Standard Deviation Beta
A 9.55% 15.00% 0.9
B 10.45% 15.00% 1.1
C 12.70% 15.00% 1.6
Fund P has one-third of its funds invested in each of the
three stocks. The risk-free rate is 5.5%, and the market is in
equilibrium. (That is, the required returns equal expected
returns.)
a) What is the market risk premium?
b) What is the beta of Fund P?
c) What is the required return of Fund P?
d) Would you expect the standard deviation of the Fund P to be
less than 1%, equal to 15%, or greater than 15%? Explain.
