| 6-1. Your investment club has only two stocks in its portfolio. $20,000 is invested in a stock |
| with a beta of 0.7, and $35,000 is invested in a stock with a beta of 1.3. What is the |
| portfolio’s beta? |
| 6-2. AA Industries’s stock has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate is 4% and the expected return on |
| the market is 12%. What is the required rate of return on AA’s stock? |
| 6-3. Suppose that the risk-free rate is 5% and that the market risk premium is 7%. What is the |
| required return on (1) the market, (2) a stock with a beta of 1.0, and (3) a stock with a |
| beta of 1.7? Assume that the risk-free rate is 5% and that the market risk premium is 7%. |
| 6-4. An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor |
| model. The risk-free rate is 5%, the market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio |
| (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%. If ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = |
| ?0.4, and di = 1.3, what is the stock’s predicted return? |
| 6-7. Suppose rRF = 5%, rM = 10%, and rA = 12%. |

| 6-8. As an equity analyst you are concerned with what will happen to the required return to |
| Universal Toddler Industries’s stock as market conditions change. Suppose rRF = 5%, rM = |
| 12%, and bUTI = 1.4. |
| a. Under current conditions, what is rUTI, the required rate of return on UTI stock? |
| b. Now suppose rRF (1) increases to 6% or (2) decreases to 4%. The slope of the SML |
| remains constant. How would this affect rM and rUTI? |
| c. Now assume rRF remains at 5% but rM (1) increases to 14% or (2) falls to 11%. The |
| slope of the SML does not remain constant. How would these changes affect rUTI? |
