A) 56% B) 61% C) 24% D) 26%

Explanation / Answer

18.) Systematic risk is also referred to as non-diversifiable risk.

This represents volatility and is classified as market risk as it is inherent to complete market.

19.) Abbot Labs - 200 shares @ $50 per share         -10.00%

Lowes - 200 shares @ $30 per share          21.00%

Ball - 100 shares @ $40 per share    12.50%

Total Return on Portfolio = Weighted average of returns

         = {200x50x(-10) + 200x30x21 + 100x40x12.50} / (200x50 + 200x30 + 100x40)

        = 76,000/20,000

        = 3.80%

Hence, Option-(c) is correct

20.) Beta =1.5

Market Return =18%

Risk Free Return =2%

Using CAPM Model,

E = 2 + 1.50x(18-2)

   = 2 + 24.0

   =26.0

Hence, option-(d) is correct
