Interpreting Regression Output Security Market Line and Stock Valuation HW In this assignment, you are to estimate a security market line. You have current information about beta and expected annual return on 5 assets, as given in the following table:

Beta

Expected return

0.2

0.02

0.5

0.035

0.75

0.052

1.2

0.085

1.5

0.11

(Note that expected return is a decimal, so the first asset has an expected return of 2%.)

Please do the following and turn in a 2-4 page, double-space typed report to answer the following:

Run a regression line to determine the slope and y-intercept of the security market line. If you need help figuring out the regression line to run, you can refer to Chapter 11 and find the graph that shows this. You can use any computer program you want to run your regression.
Explain how to interpret your regression, including what the slope and y-intercept mean in terms we have used in this class. Calculate 95% confidence intervals for the slope and y-intercept.
Look up the current return on one-year Treasury bills/notes as your risk-free rate. Two good sources are http://fxtrade.oanda.com/analysis/economic-indicat… and http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/mdc_bonds.ht…. In your report, please state your source and the date used.

Given the current risk-free rate, does the regression estimate of your risk-free rate match the actual current risk-free rate? Use confidence intervals to help answer this question.
