Risk and return estimates (4 marks): a. Use CAPM to estimate the expected return for the shares of: i) your case company; and ii) a hypothetical company with a beta of 1.60. To do this, use the yield to maturity of a 10-year Australian Government bond on 1 April 2020 as a proxy for the risk-free rate, assume the market risk premium is 5.50% and use your case companys most recent 5-year beta. b. Using the data from part 2a, estimate portfolio expected return and beta, assuming a portfolio with 70% invested in your case company and the remainder invested in the hypothetical company.
Answers to the above two questions are already completed. below are the answers and the required data to complete question 3.
i = 0.79 (Give most recent 5year beta based on S&P Capital)
hypothetical company i = 1.60
Rf = 0.68% (As of 1st April 2020)
2 a) Expected return company (BRG) share = = 5.02%
Expected return hypothetical company share = 9.48%
2 b) Expected portfolio return = 6.36%
Portfolio Beta = 1.03


Question 3) Drawing on expectations from theory and incorporating the overall context of your chosen company, interpret and discuss the risk and return measures from parts 2a and 2b. Company name -Breville Group Limited (ASX:BRG)
The following points need to be discussed in question 3
1) Portfolio benefits relates to the beta. eg. risk reduction and insurance against market movements
2) Types of risks (Systematic vs unsystematci risks)
3) Provide detailed interpretation of beta. Perhaps include a quantitative example that demonstrates how the beta changes relative to the market change.
4) Discussion between portfolio vs individual stock values.
