Need: Stock C Investment, Risk Free asset Investment and Beta
Explanation / Answer
In order to get market equivalent risky portfolio, weighted beta of portfolio must be 1. Acccordingly:
= 506000/2200000*1 + 770000/2200000*1.80 + X*2 = 1
= 0.86 + 2X = 1
X = .07
Amount to be invested in Stock C = 2200000 * .07 = 154000
Amount to be invested in risk free securities = 2200000 - 506000 - 770000 - 154000 = 770000
