Problem 13-17 Using the SML [LO4]
| Asset W has an expected return of 10.6 percent and a beta of 1.40. If the risk-free rate is 3.6 percent, complete the following table for portfolios of Asset W and a risk-free asset. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your expected returns as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16, and your beta answers to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.) |
| Percentage of Portfolio in Asset W | Portfolio Expected Return | Portfolio Beta | |||
| 0 | % | 3.600% | 0.00 | ||
| 25 | 5.350% | 0.35 | |||
| 50 | 7.100% | 0.70 | |||
| 75 | 8.850% | 1.05 | |||
| 100 | 10.600% | 1.40 | |||
| 125 | 12.350% | 1.75 | |||
| 150 | 14.100% | 2.10 | |||
| If you plot the relationship between portfolio expected return and portfolio beta, what is the slope of the line that results? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
