6-1. Your investment club has only two stocks in its portfolio. $20,000 is invested in a stock with a beta of 0.7, and $35,000 is invested in a stock with a beta of 1.3. What is the portfolio's beta?

6-2. AA Industries's stock has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate is 4% and the expected return on the market is 12%. What is the required rate of return on AA's stock?

6-3. Suppose that the risk-free rate is 5% and that the market risk premium is 7%. What is the required return on (1) the market, (2) a stock with a beta of 1.0, and (3) a stock with a beta of 1.7? Assume that the risk-free rate is 5% and that the market risk premium is 7%.

6-4. An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The risk-free rate is 5%, the market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%.

6-7. Suppose rRF = 5%, rM = 10%, and rA = 12%.
