Suppose UPS has a beta of 1.6, and PepsiCo has a beta of 0.9. The risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the market risk premium is 9%. What would be the expected return on a portfolio with 60% of its money in UPS and the balance in PepsiCo?
Required return of UPS = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)
Required return of UPS = 0.06 + 1.6 ( 0.09)
Required return of UPS = 0.204 or 20.4%
Required return of Pepsico = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)
Required return of Pepsico = 0.06 + 0.9 ( 0.09)
Required return of Pepsico = 0.141 or 14.1%
Expected return on portfolio = 0.6*0.204 + 0.4*0.141
Expected return on portfolio = 0.1224 + 0.0564
Expected return on portfolio = 0.1788 or 17.88%
