Suppose you hold a diversified portfolio consisting of a $9,149 invested equally  in each of 5 different common stocks.  The portfolio’s beta is 0.81.  Now  suppose you decided to sell one of your stocks that has a beta of 0.7 and to  use the proceeds to buy a replacement stock with a beta of 1.1.  What would  the portfolio’s new beta be?

The risk-free rate is 3.4 percent.  Stock A has a beta = 1.8 and Stock B has a beta = 1.1. Stock A has a required return of 7 percent.  What is Stock B’s required return?

Given the following probability distribution, what are the expected return and the standard  deviation of returns for Security J? State                      Pi                              rj     1                          0.2                           5%     2                          0.1                           6%     3                          0.7                           15%

Suppose the real risk-free rate is 4.8%,  the average future inflation rate is  2.4%, and a maturity premium of 0.1% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP =  0.1%(t), where t is the years to maturity.  What rate of return would you  expect on a 4-year Treasury security, assuming the pure expectations theory is NOT valid?

Keys Corporation’s 5-year bonds yield 8.1%, and 5-year T-bonds yield 6.8%. The real risk-free rate is r* =  1.5%, the inflation premium  for 5 years bonds is  IP = 4.9%, the default risk premium for Keys’ bonds is DRP = 0.54% versus  zero for T-bonds, and the maturity risk premium for all bonds is found with  the formula  MRP =  (t – 1)*0.1%, where t = number of years to maturity.  What  is the liquidity premium (LP) on Keys’ bonds?
