c) Consider three portfolios A, B, and C. All three portfolios lie on the efficient frontier which allows for risk-free investments. Portfolios A and B have the following expected returns and standard deviations of returns: E(r) | STD A 6% B 8% 15% 10% i. If Portfolio C has an expected return equal to 12%, what are its Sharpe ratio and standard deviation of returns? i. What is the risk-free interest rate in the economy?

Find the weights of the two pure factor portfolios constructed from the following three securities: r1 = .06 + 2F¡ + 2F, r2 = .05 + 3F, + IF, r3 = .04 + 3F, + OF, Then write out the factor equations for the two pure factor portfolios, and determine their risk premiums. Assume a risk-free rate that is implied by the factor equations and no arbitrage.

(Portfolio VaR) Suppose there are two investments A and B. Either investment A or B has a 4.5% chance of a loss of $15 million, a 2% chance of a loss of $2 million, and a 93.5% change of a profit of $2 million. The outcomes of these two investments are independent of each other.
