Consider a portfolio consisting of 2 assets with a fixed correlation coefficient in a Markowitz environment. If the weight of the 2 assets is varied, the expected portfolio return would be             and the expected portfolio standard deviation would be        ?   Nonlinear, elliptical Nonlinear, circular Linear, elliptical Linear, circular Circular, elliptical All of the answers could be correct depending on the weights of the 2 stocks None of the above answers is correct

In the model in Example 7.9, stock 2 is not in the optimal portfolio. Use SolverTable to see whether it ever enters the optimal portfolio as its correlations with stocks 1 and 3 vary. Specifically, use a two-way SolverTable with two inputs, the correlations between stock 2 and stocks 1 and 3, each allowed to vary from 0.1 to 0.9 in increments of 0.1. Capture as outputs the three changing cells. Discuss the results. (Note: You will have to change the model slightly. For example, if you use cells B10 and C11 as the two Solver Table input cells, you will have to ensure that cells C9 and D10 change accordingly. This is easy. Just put formulas in these latter two cells.) Example 7.9 Perlman & Brothers, an investment company, intends to invest a given amount of money in three stocks. From past data, the means and standard deviations of annual returns have been estimated as shown in Table 7.7. The correlations among the annual returns on the stocks are listed in Table 7.8. The company…
