Question: Suppose stock returns can be explained by the following three-factor model: R i = R F + 1 F 1 + 2 F 2 3

Suppose stock returns can be explained by the following three-factor model:

Ri = RF + 1F1 + 2F2 3F3

Assume there is no firm-specific risk. The information for each stock is presented here:

1 2 3
Stock A 1.95 .95 .70
Stock B .84 1.55 .15
Stock C .87 .41 1.52

The risk premiums for the factors are 7.5 percent, 6.7 percent, and 7.1 percent, respectively. You create a portfolio with 20 percent invested in Stock A , 20 percent invested in Stock B , and the remainder in Stock C.

What is the expression for the return on your portfolio? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Factor Beta
Factor F1 9.7 incorrect
Factor F2 9.24 incorrect
Factor F3 1.06 correct

If the risk-free rate is 4.6 percent, what is the expected return on your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
