Consider the following information for three stocks, Stocks X, Y, and Z. The returns on the three stocks are positively correlated, but they are not perfectly correlated. (That is, each of the correlation coefficients is between 0 and 1.)

STOCK EXPECTED RETURN STANDARD DEVIATION BETA
X 9.00% 15% 0.8
Y 10.75 15 1.2
Z 12.50 15 1.6

Fund P has half of its funds invested in Stock X and half invested in Stock Y. Fund Q has one-third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks. The risk-free rate is 5.5%, and the market is in equilibrium. (That is, required returns equal expected returns.) What is the market risk premium ( - )? Round your answer to two decimal places.

B. What is the beta of Fund q?
