Suppose that there are two independent economic factors, F1 and F2. The risk-free rate is 7%, and all stocks have independent firm-specific components with a standard deviation of 47%. Portfolios A and B are both well-diversified with the following properties: Portfolio Beta on F1 Beta on F2 Expected Return A 2.2 2.5 25 % B 2.8 –0.25 20 % What is the expected return-beta relationship in this economy?
Calculate the risk-free rate, rf, and the factor risk premiums, RP1 and RP2, to complete the equation below. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.) E(rP) = rf + (βP1 × RP1) + (βP2 × RP2)
