2.TheAPTfactorsmustcorrelatewithmajorsourcesofuncertainty,i.e.,sourcesofuncertaintythatareofconcerntomanyinvestors.Researchersshouldinvestigatefactorsthatcorrelatewithuncertaintyinconsumptionandinvestmentopportunities.GDP,theinflationrate,andinterestratesareamongthefactorsthatcanbeexpectedtodetermineriskpremiums.Inparticular,industrialproduction（IP）isagoodindicatorofchangesinthebusinesscycle.Thus,IPisacandidateforafactorthatishighlycorrelatedwithuncertaintiesthathavetodowithinvestmentandconsumptionopportunitiesintheeconomy.

4.Equation10.11applieshere:

E（rp）=rf+βP1[E（r1）rf]+βP2[E（r2）–rf]

Weneedtofindtheriskpremium（RP）foreachofthetwofactors:

RP1=[E（r1）rf]andRP2=[E（r2）rf]

Inordertodoso,wesolvethefollowingsystemoftwoequationswithtwounknowns:

RP2]

Thesolutiontothissetofequationsis

RP1=10%andRP2=5%

Thus,theexpectedreturn-betarelationshipis

E（rP）=6%+（βP1×

5.TheexpectedreturnforportfolioFequalstherisk-freeratesinceitsbetaequals0.

ForportfolioA,theratioofriskpremiumtobetais（12−6）/1.2=5

ForportfolioE,theratioislowerat（8–6）/0.6=3.33

Thisimpliesthatanarbitrageopportunityexists.Forinstance,youcancreateaportfolioGwithbetaequalto0.6（thesameasE’s）bycombiningportfolioAandportfolioFinequalweights.TheexpectedreturnandbetaforportfolioGarethen:

ComparingportfolioGtoportfolioE,Ghasthesamebetaandhigherreturn.Therefore,anarbitrageopportunityexistsbybuyingportfolioGandsellinganequalamountofportfolioE.Theprofitforthisarbitragewillbe

rG–rE=[9%+（0.6×

Thatis,1%ofthefunds（longorshort）ineachportfolio.

9%=rf+（0.8×

Solvingtheseequations,weobtain

rf=3%andRP=7.5%
