Explanation / Answer

These can be solved using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):
E(r) = RFR + Beta(Rm - RFR)
where:
E(r) = expected return (or required return)
RFR = Risk Free Rate
Rm = Return on the market
note: (Rm - RFR) is also known as the "market risk premium"

Set up your equations, and solve...
1. Total invested = 75k, weight of A = 50/75 = 0.6667, weight of B = 25/75 = 0.3333
for A: E(r) = 0.04 + 1.5(0.02) = 0.07
for B: E(r) = 0.04 + 0.9(0.02) = 0.058
E(Portfolio r) = 0.6667(0.07) + 0.3333(0.058) = 0.066 or 6.6%

2. Total invested: 9k + (100 * $10) = 10k...(call pre-ATT portfolio: PortA, post-ATT portfolio: PortB)
weight of PortA in PortB = 9/10 = 0.90
weight of ATT in Port B = 1/10 = 0.10
E(RportB) = 0.90(0.12) + 0.10(0.20) = 0.128, or 12.8%
Beta Port B = 0.9 (1.2) + 0.10(2.0) = 1.28

3. 0.15 = RFR + 2.0(0.10 - RFR), thus RFR = 0.05 or 5%
Not sure here if the question means the new return on average stock is 40% (10% + 30%) OR
0.10 +(0.10 * .30) = 0.13...I'll assume this last one...sub in 0.13 for the Rm...
E(r) = 0.05 + 2.0(0.13 - 0.05) = 0.21 or 21%, so the CHANGE is 0.21 - 0.15 = 0.06 or 6% additional return. The percentage change is 0.06 / 0.15 = 0.40 or, 40% more return than previously (it's a little unclear exactly which %age they're looking for here)

4. First solve for Rm using the Partridge data...
0.13 = 0.06 + 1.4(Rm - 0.06)
0.07 = 1.4(Rm - 0.06)
0.154 = 1.4Rm
Rm = 0.11
sub in for Cleaver E(r) = 0.06 + 0.8(0.11 - 0.06) = 0.10, or 10%...
