Suppose that there are two independent economic factors, F1 and F2. The risk-free rate is 6%, and all stocks have independent firm-specific components with a standard deviation of 46%. Portfolios A and Bare both well-diversified with the following properties:
Portfolio | Beta on F1 | Beta on F2 | Expected Return | ||||||||
A | 2.1 | 2.4 | 35% | ||||||||
B | 3.0 | –0.24 | 30% |
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)
rf =?%
RP1 = ?%
RP2 = ?%
