Question
You plan to invest in the Kish Hedge Fund, which has total capital of $500 million invested in five stocks:
Stock | Investment | Stock's Beta Coefficient |
A | $160 million | 0.8 |
B | 120 million | 1.6 |
C | 80 million | 2.2 |
D | 80 million | 1.0 |
E | 60 million | 1.7 |
Kish's beta coefficient can be found as a weighted average of its stocks' betas. The risk-free rate is 4%, and you believe the following probability distribution for future market returns is realistic:
Probability | Market Return |
0.1 | -25% |
0.2 | 0 |
0.4 | 12 |
0.2 | 29 |
0.1 | 51 |
- 1. What is the equation for the Security Market Line (SML)? (Hint: First determine the expected market return.) Select one (1) of the answers below.
-
- ri = 2.2% + (10.7%)bi
- ri = 4.0% + (9.2%)bi
- ri = 2.5% + (10.4%)bi
- ri = 4.0% + (10.7%)bi
- ri = 2.2% + (9.2%)bi
- Calculate Kish's required
rate of return . Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
