(20points) According to the CAPM, annual return r of an asset can be modeled by a regression
with independent variable of the index (market portfolio) annual return rM as follows:
r-rf=+(rM-rf)+
where rf is risk free rate of return, rMN(M,M2), and N(0,2). Here we assume that rM and
are independent. Suppose that rf=0 and we estimate parameters as follows:
=0.002,=0.9, and =0.2.
a. If the expected index annual return is as 0.1, that is M=0.1, then what is the expected
annual return of the asset?
b. Suppose standard deviation of the index annual return is M=0.1. Calculate 99%-VaR
(=VaR1%(r)) of r. Note that 99% quantile value of the standard normal distribution is q99%
=2.326.
Hint :r is normal distributed and E(+(rM-rf)+)=+E[rM]
var(+(rM-rf)+)=2var(rM-rf)+var()=2var(rM)+var()
 (20points) According to the CAPM, annual return r of an asset
