The following table provides the average annual rate of return for Portfolio X, the market portfolio (as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index), and U.S. Treasury bills (T-bills) during the past eight years. Annual Average Standard Deviation Rate of Return of Return Beta Portfolio X 10% 18% 0.60 S&P 500 13 1.00 12 n/a T-bills n/a n/a = not applicable a. Calculate both the Treynor measure and the Sharpe measure for both Portfolio X and the S&P 500. Briefly explain whether Portfolio X underperformed, equaled, or outper- formed the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis using both the Treynor measure and the Sharpe measure. b.
