Explanation / Answer

Que 14, 15, 16, 17( require more information)

18) Real Return= Nominal return- inflation

= .055-.06

= -.05%0r -.47%

19) Weighted Return on Portfolio= Weight of stock A x Return on stock A + Weight of stock Bx Return on stock B+ weight of Treasury Bills x return on treasury bill

= .25x.12 +.40x .10 + .35x.02 = .03+.04+.007= 7.7%

20)Weighted Beta on Portfolio= Weight of stock A x Beta of A + Weight of stock Bx Beat of stock B+ Weight of stock C x Beta of Stock C

= .15x1.2+ .50x1.8 + .35x.6 =.18+.9+.21 = 1.29

21) False ( Beta is a measure of systematic risk)
