Fund Q has one-third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks. The risk-free rate is 5.5%, and the market is in equilibrium. (That is, required returns equal expected returns.)
a.       What is the market risk premium (rM - rRF)?
b.      What is the beta of Fund Q?
c.       What is the expected return of Fund Q?
d.      Would you expect the standard deviation of Fund Q to be less than 15%, equal to 15%, or greater than 15%? Explain.
