2. If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of .50, what are the portfolio weights?
3. If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 10 percent, what is its beta?
4. If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 2.26, what are the portfolio weights? How do you interpret the weights for the two assets in this case? Explain.
