B.) Suppose that there are two independent economic factors, F1 and F2. The risk-free rate is 8%, and all stocks have independent firm-specific components with a standard deviation of 38%. The following are well-diversified portfolios:
| Portfolio | Beta on F1 | Beta on F2 | Expected Return |
| A | 1.4 | 1.8 | 28% |
| B | 2.3 | 0.18 | 25% |
| What is the expected returnbeta relationship in this economy? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) |
E(rP) = _____% + (P1 _____%) + (P2 ______%)
