Hazel Morrison, a mutual fund manager, has a $40 million portfolio with a beta of 1.00. The risk-free rate is 4.25%, and the market risk premium is 6.00%. Hazel expects to receive an additional $60 million, which she plans to invest in additional stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants the fund's required and expected return to be 13.00%. What must the average beta of the new stocks be to achieve the target required rate of return? a. 2.04 b. 1.68 c. 1.85 d. 1.76 e. 1.94

The average beta of the new stocks would be 1.75 to achieve the target required rate of return

Explanation:

In order to calculate the average beta of the new stocks to achieve the target required rate of return we would have to calculate the following:

average beta of the new stocks = (Required Beta-(portfolio /total fund) *old beta)/(additional portfolio/total fund)

To calculate the Required Beta we would have to use the formula of Required rate of return as follows:

Required rate of return=Risk free return + (market risk premium)*beta

0.13=0.0425+(0.06*Required Beta)

Required Beta = (0.13-0.0425)/0.06

Required Beta = 1.45

Therefore, average beta of the new stocks =(1.45-($40/$100) *1)/($60/$100)

average beta of the new stocks =1.05/0.6

average beta of the new stocks =1.75

The average beta of the new stocks would be 1.75 to achieve the target required rate of return

let me know if i am correct or not, so i can edit the answer.

there is no possible way mgk stands a chance with the greatest white rapper of all time. eminem killshots had more bars than rap devil and the reason mgk is doing all this is cause he not getting attention anymore til the release of rap devil and the disses he is putting on eminem. now rap devil was more fire than killshot so mgk might won the battle with rap devil but eminem won the war with killshot.
