1. What is the beta of a portfolio with the expected return of 18%, if the risk-free rate is 6% and the risk premium of market portfolio is 8%?
2. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 16%. A share of stock sells for $50 today. It will pay a dividend of $6 per share at the end of the year. Its beta is 1.2. What do investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year?
3. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 16%. A stock has an expected rate of return of 4%. What is its beta? Why would anyone consider buying this risky asset which provides an expected return less than the risk-free rate?

(a) What is the expected rate of return on the market portfolio?
(b) What would be the expected rate of return on a stock with b = 0?
(c) Suppose you consider buying a share of stock at $40. The stock is expected to pay $3 dividends next year and you expect it to sell then for $41. The stock risk has been evaluated by b = -0.5. Is the stock overpriced or underpriced?
5. If we regress the stocks' average return on their betas, what should be the slope and the intercept according to the CAPM? 6. If we regress a stock's returns on returns of the market portfolio, what should be the slope according to the CAPM?
