1.Your forecasting model projects an expected return of 10% for Stock A and an expected return of 17% for Stock B. Using your forecasted expected returns, what is your best estimate of the alpha of your portfolio when using CAPM to determine a fair level of expected return?

2. A different analyst uses a two-factor APT model to evaluate expected returns and risk. The risk premiums on the factor 1 and factor 2 portfolios are 5% and 4%, respectively, while the risk-free rate of return remains at 3%. According to this APT analyst, your portfolio formed in question 2 has a beta on factor 1 of 1.7 and a beta on factor 2 of 2.5. According to APT, what is the expected return on your portfolio if no arbitrage opportunities exist?

3. Now assume that your forecasting model of question 1 accurately projects the expected return of Stocks A and B and therefore your portfolio, and that the APT model of question 2 describes the fair rate of return for your portfolio. Do any arbitrage opportunities exist?
