Consider historical data showing that the average annual rate of
return on the S&P 500 portfolio over the past 85 years has
averaged roughly 8% more than the Treasury bill return and that the
S&P 500 standard deviation has been about 20% per year. Assume
these values are representative of investors’ expectations for
future performance and that the current T-bill rate is 5%.
