Beta of a portfolio invested 20% in Security A and 80% in Portfolio P1 is calculated as :
beta = (20% * beta of Security A) + (80% * beta of Portfolio P1)
beta = (20% * 1.25) + (80% * 0.85)
beta = 0.93

There are three assets, A, B and C, where A is the market portfolio and C is the risk-free asset. The return on the market has a mean of 12% and a standard deviation of 20%. The risk-free asset yields a return of 4%. Asset B is a risky asset whose return has a standard deviation of 40% and a market beta of 1. Assume that the CAPM holds. Compute the expected return of asset B and its covariances with...
