Question
Asset W has an expected return of 12.6 percent and a beta of 1.25. If the risk-free rate is 4.6 percent, complete the following table for portfolios of Asset W and a risk-free asset. (Round your expected return answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16) and beta answers to 3 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161))
If you plot the relationship between portfolio expected return and portfolio beta, what is the slope of the line that results?

Explanation / Answer
Formula for expected return = Expected return of asset W* Weight of W + Expected return of Risk free asset * Weight of Risk Free asset
For example = 12.6*0% + 4.6*100% = 4.60%
If you plot the relationship between portfolio expected return and portfolio beta, what is the slope of the line that results? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.1616))
