In a recent closely contested lawsuit, Apex sued Bpex for patent infringement. The jury came back today with its decision. The rate of return on Apex was rA = 3.2%. The rate of return on Bpex was only rB = 2.6%. The market today responded to very encouraging news about the unemployment rate, and rM = 3.85%. The historical relationship between returns on these stocks and the market portfolio has been estimated from index model regressions as:
