Calculate portfolio X beta assuming that: risk-free rate is 4,5%, market portfolio rate of return is 18%, portfolio X expected rate of return is 19,2% and the portfolio X Jensen alpha is 0,0051.
1. Computation of Required rate of return
Required Rate of return = Jensen Alpha + Expected rate of return
Required Rate of return = 0.0051 + 0.192
Required Rate of return = 19.71%
2. Computation of Portfolio Beta = (required return - risk free rate) / (market Rate - risk free return)
Portfolio Beta = (19.71% - 4.50%) / (18% - 4.50%)
Portfolio Beta = 1.1267
