Sydney has a portfolio with 50 shares of AAA with a current value of $20 per share, a return of 12%, and a beta of
1.30. She also has 25 shares of BBB with a return of 10%, a 0.80 beta, and currently priced at $60 per share. Finally
she owns 75 shares of CCC priced at $50 per share, with a 1.1 beta and a 14% return. What is the weighted average
portfolio return of Sydney's portfolio? ANS 12.72%
The weighted average return is calculated with a total portfolio value of $6,250 and each stock as a percent ofthat
total, times its individual return, all added together to provide the weighted average portfolio return.
Stock Amount Return Weighting
AAA 50 x $20 = $1,000 12% (1,000 ÷ 6,250) x 0.12 = 0.0192
BBB 25 x $60 = $1,500 10% (1,500 ÷ 6,250) x 0.10 = 0.0240
CCC 75 x $50 = $3,750 14% (3,750 ÷ 6,250) x 0.14 = 0.0840
Total $6,250 Return = 0.1272
Your client Holly Lynne has a 15% required rate of return. She is considering investing in XYZ, Inc., which paid an
annual dividend of $0.75 this year and is projected to increase its earnings and dividends by 10% annually. The
current market price is $15.40.
Which of the following recommendations would you make to the client? ANS The intrinsic value of the stock is
$16.50, so the client should purchase this stock since the company is currently undervalued.
, Use the intrinsic value formula to determine the correct dollar amount of this stock currently. V = D1 / (r - g) = (0.75
x 1.10) ÷ (0.15 - 0.10) = $16.50. Since the stock is trading for less than the intrinsic value, the planner should
recommend that the client purchase the security.
Unsystematic risk can be reduced by buying: ANS Stocks in numerous unrelated industries.
Unsystematic risk is also known as diversifiable risk. It can easily be eliminated through adequate and strategic
diversification.
Which of the following statements regarding close-end investment companies, if any, is correct?
Close-end funds continually create new shares as new monies are obtained.
Close-end funds offer price guarantees. ANS Neither 1 nor 2.

If the risk/return performance of a stock lies below the Security Market Line, the stock is said to have a: ANS
negative alpha
Performance of a stock below the SML will under perform because it is overvalued and therefore has a negative
alpha. The Jensen formula can be used to prove this relationship such that Alpha = Return of the stock - (Risk free
rate + Beta x Market risk premium). If the return of the stock is less than expected, alpha will be negative.
Which of the following reveals the relationship of a given security's movement relative to that of the market? ANS
Beta
Treynor is a risk adjusted performance measure. Covariance measures two stocks movements relative to one
another. Standard deviation measures a security's volatility.
Reese has two assets in her portfolio, asset A and asset B. Asset A has a standard deviation of 40% and asset B has a
standard deviation of 20%. 50% of her portfolio is invested in asset A and 50% is invested in asset B. The
correlation for asset A and asset B is 0.90. What is the standard deviation of her portfolio? ANS It's not
necessary to use the standard deviation of a two asset portfolio formula to answer this question. Since there's a 50/50
weighting for each asset, simply take a simple average of the standard deviations (0.40 + 0.20) ÷ 2 = 0.30. Since the
correlation is less than 1, the standard deviation for the portfolio will be less than the simple average. If correlation
was equal to 1, then the standard deviation would be equal to 30%.
All of the following are treated as assets of the parent for financial aid, except? ANS UGMA
