The rates of return on two assets are as follows: Year A 15% 1 2 -5% Correlation between A and B = -1 Probability of each year = 0.5 a) b) c) B -1% 30% Assuming the weightings of A and B are 0.5, determine the portfolio return and portfolio standard deviation. (10 marks) Security A's beta of 1.5. The risk-free rate is 0.04 and the market expected rate of return is 0.11. Calculate the required rate by using Capital Asset Pricing Model. (5 marks) assumed that the expected rate of return of Security A is 0.165. Calculate the alpha of Security A. Explain the usage of alpha for securities analysis.
