standard deviation
expected return of the portfolio
Further, suppose that 40% of the portfolio is invested in Stock X and 60% in Stock Y. In order to calculate the standard deviation of the portfolio, first we need to calculate the expected returns of both stocks:
E[Rx]=.21×(−2%)+.46×11%+.33×26%=13.22%E[Rx]=.21×(−2%)+.46×11%+.33×26%=13.22%
E[Ry]=.21×3%+.46×13%+.33×14%=11.23%E[Ry]=.21×3%+.46×13%+.33×14%=11.23%
The expected return on a portfolio is simply the weighted average of the returns on the individual assets. As such, the expected return on our example portfolio is:
E[Rp]=.4×13.22%+.6×11.23%=12%E[Rp]=.4×13.22%+.6×11.23%=12%
Next, calculate the standard deviations of each stock:
σx=√.21(−2%−13.22%)2+.46(11%−13.22%)2+.33(26%−13.22%)2=10.24%σx=.21(−2%−13.22%)2+.46(11%−13.22%)2+.33(26%−13.22%)2=10.24%
σy=√.21(3%−11.23%)2+.46(13%−11.23%)2+.33(14%−11.23%)2=4.27%σy=.21(3%−11.23%)2+.46(13%−11.23%)2+.33(14%−11.23%)2=4.27%
The covariance of the two stocks are:
COVx,y=.21×(−2%−13.22%)×(3%−11.23%)+.46×(11%−13.22%)×(13%−11.23%)+.33×(26%−13.22%)×(14%−11.23%)=36.18%COVx,y=.21×(−2%−13.22%)×(3%−11.23%)+.46×(11%−13.22%)×(13%−11.23%)+.33×(26%−13.22%)×(14%−11.23%)=36.18%
Given the standard deviation of each individual asset and the covariance of the two assets, the correlation coefficient of these stocks is:
ϱa,b=36.18%10.24%×4.27%=.82ϱa,b=36.18%10.24%×4.27%=.82
Therefore, the standard deviation of the portfolio is (using the correlation coefficient):
σp=√(.4)2×(10.24%)2+(.6)2×(4.27%)2+2×.4×.6×.8256×10.24%×4.27%=6.38%

BUILD UP METHOD FORMULA
VMX is a newer company that produces cooling products for CPUs. The company has an estimated beta of 2.1. If you expect market returns to be 12% and the risk free rate to be 3%, then what are your expected returns for VMX using the CAPM?
A company that you are analyzing has a beta of 1. The expected market return is 14.5%. According to the CAPM, what is the expected return of this company?
GKL and Associates has a beta of 1.1. The market risk premium is expected to be 8% and the risk free rate is 3.5%. According to the CAPM, what is the expected return for GKL?
Suppose a company has a beta of .86. Also, assume the market risk premium is 10% and the expected return on the market is 13.5%. According to the CAPM, what is the expected return for this company?
(Required rate of return using CAPM) Compute Bowling Avenue Inc.’s required rate of return given a beta of .9, risk free rate of 3.25%, and the average market return of 9%.
(Capital asset pricing model) Compute Fine Co.’s required rate of return given a beta of 1.5, risk free rate of 5%, and a market premium of 4%.
