What are the conclusions of Beta stability tests and Tests based on the slope of the SML? (hint: refer to Ch 25 in the textbook)
Suppose Asset A has an expected return of 10 percent and a standard deviation of 20 percent. Asset B has an expected return of 16 percent and a standard deviation of 40 percent. If the correlation between A and B is 0.35, what are the expected return and standard deviation for a portfolio comprised of 40 percent Asset A and 60 percent Asset B?
1) Calculate what is called Beta, , from the table below (hint : use excel for calculation for beta) and then 2) make the equation with beta and intercept to calculate the expected return of i asset. (hint; use SML equation in Chapter 25 and r_RF=5%, _M =9% )

Calculate the expected return of portfolio and standard deviation of portfolio of 3 Assets (Security B, C, and D) (Hints: Assume that weights of B, C, and D are , respectively;

the expected rate of return for Security B, C, and D is 9.9%, 1.2%, 7.3%, respectively)?
