Covariance = 69.70% / 9 = 7.74%


Correlation of SA and AT&T = (0.0871) / (0.5136) (0.2789) = 0.54065

Problem 7 (In class problem on Thursday, April 10, 2008)


Three Companies and their expected returns and standard deviations of their returns
Sony, expected return 11%, standard deviation or 1 23%
Tesoro, expected return 9%, standard deviation or 2 27%,
Storage Technology, expected return 16%, standard deviation or 3 50%
Correlations of the three companies (pair-wise covariances)
Sony & Tesoro, 1,2 -0.15
Sony $ Storage Technology, 1,3 0.20
Tesoro & Storage Technology, 2,3 -0.25

69.70%

Expected return if you have an equally weighted portfolio of the three companies,
1/3 invested in each company, W1 = W2 = W3 = 0.33333
Expected return for the portfolio = W1 x E(return of Sony) + W2 x E(return of Tesoro) +
W3 x E(return of Storage Technology)
= 1/3 x 0.11 + 1/3 x 0.09 + 1/3 x 0.16 = 0.12 or 12%
Expected Variance of the portfolio = (W1)2 x (1)2 + (W2)2 x (2)2 + (W3)2 x (3)2

Standard Deviation = (0.0392967)1/2 = 0.1982 or 19.82%

Variance of the market = 2 = Sum of Column 3 / (10 - 1) = 0.188889185 / 9 = 0.020987687


Beta of Scientific Atlantic = - 0.001307459 / 0.020987687 = - 0.062296 or Beta of -0.062
Beta is slope of Regression = = Covariance (SA and MKT) / Variance of MKT (page 600)

Problem 13
United Airline beta of 1.5
Standard deviation of the Market Portfolio is 22% (0.22)
United Airline standard deviation of 60% (0.60)
a. Estimate the correlation between United Airlines and the Market Portfolio
We know that the beta is the covariance of UA and the Market divided by the Markets variance.
So, the covariance of UA and the Market is the Markets Variance times UAs beta.

Covariance (UA, MKT) = 1.5 x (0.22)2 = 1.5 x 0.0484 = 0.0726 or 7.26%


Correlation = 0.0726 / (0.22) (0.60) = 0.55
b. What proportion of United Airlines risk is market risk?
The R-Squared in the regression of the returns of UA and the Market is the proportion of the
market risk and is also
R-Squared = (beta)2 x (variance of the market) / (variance of UA)
R-Squared = (1.5)2 x (0.22)2 / (0.60)2 = 2.25 x 0.0484 / 0.36 = 0.3025 = 30.25%

Bethlehem Steel Expected Return = risk-free rate + (1.2) (2.5%) + (0.6) (1.5%) + (1.5) (1.0%) +
(2.2) (0.8%) + (0.5) (1.2%)
a. The greatest risk factor for Bethlehem Steel is factor number 4 but we can not directly
identify this factor.
b. The expected return for BS with a 5% risk-free rate is:
E(r) = 5.0% + (1.2) (2.5%) + (0.6) (1.5%) + (1.5) (1.0%) + (2.2) (0.8%) + (0.5) (1.2%)
E(r) = 5.0% + 3.0% + 0.9% + 1.5% + 1.76% + 0.6% = 12.76%
c. Using CAPM we get the following expected return:
E(r) = 5.0% + (1.1) (5.0%) = 5.0% + 5.5% = 10.5%
d. The returns are different using the different models for a numbers of reasons

Problem 15
Emerson Electrics Expected Return = risk-free rate + (0.5) (1.8%) + (1.4) (0.6%) + (1.2) (1.5%)
+ (1.8) ((4.2%)
If the current risk-free rate is 6% we would estimate the expected return for Emerson at
E(r) = 6.0% + (0.5) (1.8%) + (1.4) (0.6%) + (1.2) (1.5%) + (1.8) ((4.2%)

E(r) = 6.0% + 0.9% + 0.84% + 1.8% + 7.56% = 17.1%

Problem 16
The Fama-French Model has:
Expected Monthly Return = 1.77% - 0.11% ln (MV) + 0.35% ln (MV/BV)
MV is the market value of the firm, BV is the book value of the firm
a. Lucent Technologies has a market value of $240 billion and a book value of $73.5
billion, estimate its expected return for the coming year with Fama-French
ln (240) = 5.480638923
ln (73.5/240) = -1.183353517
E(r) = 0.0177 - 5.48 (0.0011) - 1.18 (0.0035) = 0.0177 0.00603 - 0.00414 = 0.00752
To estimate the annual return from the monthly return you can compound
Annual Expected Return = (1 + 0.00752)12 1 = 0.094192 or 9.42%
b. Using CAPM we get the following expected return:
E(r) = 6.0% + (1.55) (5.5%) = 6.0% + 8.525% = 14.525%
c. The returns are different using the different models for a numbers of reasons
