The risk-free rate
The risk-free rate, kRF, is 4.7 percent and the market risk premium, (kM – kRF), is 5 percent. Assume that required returns are based on the CAPM. Your $1 million portfolio consists of $591,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 1.0 and the remainder invested in a stock that has a beta of 0.5. What is the required return on this portfolio? Enter your answer to the nearest .1%. Do not use the % sign in your answer, thus 12.1% is 12. 1 rather than 12.1 or .121.
