You have the following investment opportunities:
| Asset | Expected Return | Standard Deviation |
| Market Portfolio | 9.1% | 15.2% |
| Portfolio A | 10.8% | 18.4% |
You know that t-bills have a return of 2.4%. What is the M2 measure of portfolio A?
First we need to calculate Sharpe Ratio
Sharpe Ratio = [rA - rF] / SD(A)
= [10.8% - 2.4%] / 18.4% = 8.4% / 18.4% = 0.46
Now,
M2 = rF + [Sharpe Ratio x SD(M)]
= 2.4% + [0.46 x 15.2%] = 2.4% + 6.94% = 9.34%
