11.2 Portfolio Risk and Return. In the previous problem, suppose you have
$20,000 total. If you put $6,000 in Stock A and the remainder in Stock B, what will
be the expected return and standard deviation on your portfolio? (See Problem 10.)

If the risk-free rate is 8 percent, are these securities correctly priced? What would
the risk-free rate have to be if they are correctly priced? (See Problems 19, 20.)
11.4 CAPM. Suppose the risk-free rate is 8 percent. The expected return on the
market is 14 percent. If a particular stock has a beta of .60, what is its expected
return based on the CAPM? If another stock has an expected return of 20 percent,
what must its beta be? (See Problem 13.)
11.1
Answers to Chapter Review and Self-Test Problems
The expected returns are just the possible returns multiplied by the associated
probabilities:
E(R) = .10 X -.20+.60 X .10+.30 X.70 = 25%
E(R) = .10 .30 +.60 X .20 + .30 .50 = 30%
The variances are given by the sums of the squared deviations from the expected
returns multiplied by their probabilities:
o = .10 X (-.20 -25)2 + .60 X (.10 – 25)2 +.30 X (.70 – .25)2
= .10 X -.452 + .60 X -.152 + .30 X .452
= 19.X.2025 + .60 X .0225 +.30 X.2025

15. Using CAPM. A stock has an expected return of 10.9 percent, its beta is.85, and
the risk-free rate is 4.6 percent. What must the expected return on the market be?
16. Using CAPM. A stock has an expected return of 12.5 percent and a beta of
1.15, and the expected return on the market is 11.5 percent. What must the risk-free
rate be?
17. Using CAPM. A stock has a beta of 1.15 and an expected return of 10.4 percent.
A risk-free asset currently earns 3.8 percent.
a. What is the expected return on a portfolio that is equally invested in the two
assets?
b. If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of .7, what are the portfolio weights?
If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 9 percent, what is its
beta?

d. If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 2.3, what are the portfolio weights?
How do you interpret the weights for the two assets in this case? Explain.
18. Using the SML. Asset W has an expected return of 12.1 percent and a beta of
1.18. If the risk-free rate is 3.7 percent, complete the following table for portfolios of
Asset W and a risk-free asset. Illustrate the relationship between portfolio expected
return and portfolio beta by plotting the expected returns against the betas. What is
the slope of the line that results?

that will maximize the value of a firm? Why or why not?
13.4 Observed Capital Structures. Refer to the observed capital structures given
in Table 13.5 of the text. What do you notice about the types of industries with
respect to their average debt-equity ratios? Are certain types of industries more
likely to be highly leveraged than others? What are some possible reasons for this
observed segmentation? Do the operating results and tax history of the firms play
a role? How about their future earnings prospects? Explain.
13.5 Financial Leverage. Why is the use of debt financing referred to as using
financial “leverage”?
13.6 Homemade Leverage. What is homemade leverage?
13.7 Bankruptcy and Corporate Ethics. As mentioned in the text, some firms
– have filed for bankruptcy because of actual or likely litigation-related losses. Is
this a proper use of the bankruptcy process?
13.8 Bankruptcy and Corporate Ethics. Firms sometimes use the threat of a
bankruptcy filing to force creditors to renegotiate terms. Critics argue that in such

13.9 Bankruptcy and Corporate Ethics. As mentioned in the text, Continental
Airlines filed for bankruptcy, at least in part, as a means of reducing labor costs.
Whether this move was ethical, or proper, was hotly debated. Give both sides of
the argument.

market value of $125,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are
projected to be $10,400 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong
expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 20 percent higher. If there is
a recession, then EBIT will be 35 percent lower. Kaelea is considering a
