What are the betas of the two stocks? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)



What is the expected rate of return on each stock if the market return is equally likely to be 7% or 20%? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)



If the T-bill rate is 7%, and the market return is equally likely to be 7% or 20%, what are the alphas of the two stocks? (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

What are the betas of the two stocks?

What is the expected rate of return on each stock if the market return is equally likely to be 7% or 20%?

i f the T-bill rate is 7%, and the market return is equally likely to be 7% or 20%, what are the alphas of the two stocks?

Market Expected return =.50(20+7) =13.5%

BetaA =(3.2-31)/(7-20)=2.14 Beta D=(5-14)/(7-20)=.69
