Explanation / Answer

Portfolio return = weight of A * return on A + weight of risk free asset * return on risk free asset

For 25% case = 0.25*13.9 + .75*4.68 = 6.99%

Portfolio beta = weight of A * beta of A

for 25% case = 0.25 * 1.43 = 0.358

weight (W) weight(Risk free) Expected Return (in %) Beta 0% 100% 4.68 0.000 25% 75% 6.99 0.358 50% 50% 9.29 0.715 75% 25% 11.60 1.073 100% 0% 13.9 1.430 125% -25% 16.21 1.788
