Problem 12-4 Multifactor Models

  

  

  

  

The risk premiums for the factors are 7.7 percent, 6.9 percent, and 7.3 percent, respectively. You create a portfolio with 20 percent invested in Stock A , 20 percent invested in Stock B , and the remainder in StockC.

  

What is the expression for the return on your portfolio? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  

  

If the risk-free rate is 4.8 percent, what is the expected return on your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  

Suppose stock returns can be explained by the following three-factor model:

Explanation / Answer

Expected Return on the Portfolio = 4.8% + 7.7% * 1.12 + 6.9% * 0.27 + 7.3% * 1.04 = 22.88%
