Consider the following information: Portfolio Expected Return Beta Risk-free 5 % 0 Market 11.2 1.0 A 9.2 1.9 a. Calculate the return predicted by CAPM for a portfolio with a beta of 1.9. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the alpha of portfolio A. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. If the simple CAPM is valid, is the situation above possible? Yes No

The calculations are shown below:

Explanation:

The calculations are shown below:

a. The expected rate of return is  

Return = Risk free return + Beta × (Market return - risk free return)

= 5% + 1.9 ×  (11.20% - 5%)

= 5% + 11.78%

= 16.78%

b. Now the alpha is

Alpha = Actual rate of return - Expected rate of return

         = 9.2% - 16.78%

         = - 7.58%

c. No , the CAPM is not valid as the expected rate of return is more than the actual rate of return

since the options are not listed, when you are working on your budget you should also add water, tv, internet, miscellaneous and your 'fun' money for in your budget. when budgeting, you need to allow for fun money, and mis/accidental money so that you stick to the budget and not go crazy because you feel strapped to the budget.
