The APT model posits that a portfolio's expected excess return results from aggregating the effects of macroeconomic factors represented by factor loadings and risk premiums, allowing investors to predict asset returns based on demonstrated relationships rather than past performance alone .

To find the standard deviation, compute: sqrt((w1^2 * SD1^2) + (w2^2 * SD2^2) + (w3^2 * SD3^2) + 2 * w1 * w2 * SD1 * SD2 * Corr1,2 + 2 * w1 * w3 * SD1 * SD3 * Corr1,3 + 2 * w2 * w3 * SD2 * SD3 * Corr2,3)), where weights, standard deviations, and correlations are input as given .

Negatively correlated assets in a portfolio reduce overall risk, as the negative covariance term in the variance calculation offsets the individual variances, leading to a lower portfolio standard deviation compared to having no correlation .

The expected return of the portfolio is a weighted average of the returns of the two stocks: (0.6 * 15%) + (0.4 * 10%) = 13%. The covariance term is necessary to calculate the standard deviation, but in its absence, assuming no correlation, the formula for the standard deviation of a two-asset portfolio is sqrt((0.6^2 * 0.2^2) + (0.4^2 * 0.15^2)). The calculation needs the covariance for a complete solution .

Initially, the expected return is 4% + 0.9 * (10% - 4%) = 9.4%. Increasing the beta to 1.2 results in an expected return of 4% + 1.2 * (10% - 4%) = 11.2%. Thus, the expected return increases by 1.8% .

The expected return of the portfolio is calculated by summing the weighted returns: (0.4 * 8%) + (0.3 * 12%) + (0.3 * 15%) = 11.5%. The standard deviation requires considering the weighted variances of each asset, the covariances between them, and the weights: sqrt((0.4^2 * variance of P) + (0.3^2 * variance of Q) + (0.3^2 * variance of R) + 2 * 0.4 * 0.3 * 0.02 + 2 * 0.4 * 0.3 * 0.03 + 2 * 0.3 * 0.3 * 0.04).

The portfolio's expected return is the weighted average of the CAPM returns for each stock: Stock 1: 60% * [3% + 1.2 * (8% - 3%)] + Stock 2: 40% * [3% + 0.9 * (8% - 3%)], combining individual expected returns based on beta .

The standard deviation of the portfolio is calculated using the formula: sqrt((0.5^2 * 25%^2) + (0.5^2 * 20%^2) + 2 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 25% * 20% * (-0.3)), resulting in a value that factors in both individual asset risks and their interaction .

According to the CAPM, the expected return is calculated by the formula: Risk-free rate + Beta * (Market return - Risk-free rate). This results in: 3% + 1.2 * (10% - 3%) = 11.4% .

The expected excess return is calculated by summing the products of each factor exposure and its corresponding risk premium: (0.6 * 0.4) + (1.2 * 0.6) + (-0.8 * 0.3) = 0.24 + 0.72 - 0.24 = 0.72, or 72% .
