The correct option is 1. 20.3%

Explanation:

For computing the required return on the portfolio, we have to use the CAPM formula which is shown below:

Required rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market return - risk free return)

For Stock A

Required rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market return - risk free return)

= 6% + 1.5 × (17% - 6%)

= 6% + 1.5 × 11%

= 6% + 16.5%

= 22.5%

For Stock B

Required rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market return - risk free return)

= 6% + 1.0 × (17% - 6%)

= 6% + 1.0 × 11%

= 6% + 11%

= 17%

Now multiply the weightage of stock A with required rate of return for the stock A and the weightage of stock B with required rate of return for the stock B to find out the return for the portfolio

In mathematically,

= (Weightage of stock A × required rate of return for stock A) + (Weightage of stock B × required rate of return for stock B)

= (60% × 22.5%) + (40% × 17%)

= 13.5% + 6.8%

= 20.3%

Hence, the fair (required) return on the portfolio according to CAPM is 20.3%

Therefore, the correct option is 1. 20.3%

Secured loans are protected by collateral security. examples: title loans where the borrower uses the car title as collateral security interest rates are lower and repayments are longer therefore risk is low as a collateral security is given as guarantee to the bank in case of failure to pay the loanunsecured loans are not protected by collateral security but it is given on the creditworthiness of the borrower, trusting that she/he will pay on time. examples; payday loans is a short term loan where the borrower lends money from the bank and pays is back when the borrower receives his/her wages.interest rates are high and repayments are shorter. but the risk is high as no collateral security is given as a guarantee to the bank for payment of the loan
