You can Easily calculate E(r) for Stock X –
2 + 0.6 (8-2)
Now for Stock Y you first have to calculate Market Sd.. which we know how thanks to rsparks…..but we do not know the Sd of Stock Y itself….But since we are given Sd of X , Covariance bw X and Y , and Correlation bw X and Y we can easily calculate that too!
Correation xy = Covariance xy / sd x * sd y
Just put in the number and you have got sd of stock y!!

on my lunch break, so not giving this 100%, but one way to calc beta:
Beta = Corr(Asset,Market) * [Sd(Asset) / Sd(Market)]
.6 = .5 * [ .016 / Sd(Market)]
This will give you the market Sd, but you need to calculate the Beta for each stock (particularly Stock Y) for the CAPM right?

Hi, sorry for the late reply but thank you to all above for the explanation. Helped me pass!

Also can somebody suggest how to work out Beta if you are not given the market standard deviation?

Hi thanks a lot for the reply. Missed the whole reverse engineering to get market SD.
So from above marketSD = (.5*.016)/.6, so marketSD = 1.3%?? I can work out the beta for stock Y from this now.
However Im still a little unsure about part 1. Im taking it that expected return is weighting*variance??
So for stock X that would be .5*(.016)². However for stock Y we are not given its SD to work out the variance?
