Specifically, he suggested the following possible outcomes: LOADING James has estimated the expected rate of return from this investment is 13.00 percent. James wants to apply his recently acquired understanding of the security market line concept to his analysis. a. If the risk-free rate of interest is currently 2.0 percent and the beta for the investment is 1.5, what is the slope of the security market line for the real estate mortgage security investment? b.

What is the slope of the security market line (i. e., the reward-to-risk ratio) for this investment opportunity? c. Based on your analysis of parts a and b above, which investment should James take? Why?
