PROBLEM SETS
1. Using the regression feature of Excel with the data presented in the text, the first-
pass (SCL) estimation results are:

t-Beta -0.81 0.78 0.78 2.42 1.42 3.83 0.78 4.51 4.81
2. The hypotheses for the second-pass regression for the SML are:
• The intercept is zero.
• The slope is equal to the average return on the index portfolio.
3. The second-pass data from first-pass (SCL) estimates are:

4. As we saw in the chapter, the intercept is too high (3.92% per year instead of 0) and
the slope is too flat (5.21% instead of a predicted value equal to the sample-average
risk premium: rM − rf = 8.12%). The intercept is not significantly greater than zero
(the t-statistic is less than 2) and the slope is not significantly different from its
theoretical value (the t-statistic for this hypothesis is −1.48). This lack of statistical
significance is probably due to the small size of the sample.
5. Arranging the securities in three portfolios based on betas from the SCL estimates,
the first pass input data are:
