You have been managing a $5 million portfolio that has a beta of 1.45 and a required rate of return of 9.975%. The current risk-free rate is 2%. Assume that you receive another $500,000. If you invest the money in a stock with a beta of 1.25, what will be the required return on your $5.5 million portfolio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

    Explanation:

    r (m) = r (f) + [b * r (p) ]

    r (m) = expected return = 9.975%

    r (f) = risk free rate = 2%

    b = beta = 1.45

    r (p) = risk premium

    so, r (p) = (9.975 - 2) : 1.45

    = 5.5%

    for portfolio,

    r (m) = r (f) + (b1 * w1 + b2 * w2) * r (p)

    b1 = 1.45, w1 = (5 : 5.5), b2 = 1.25, w2 = (0.5 : 5.5)

    r (m) = 2 + [1.45 * (5/5.5) + 1.25 * (0.5/5.5) ] + 5.5

    = 2 + 1.32 + 0.114 + 5.5

    = 8.934%
