Stocks A and B have the following probability distributions of expected future returns: a. Calculate the expected rate of return, B, for Stock B (A = 12.50%.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % b. Calculate the standard deviation of expected returns, GA, for Stock A (σ = 20.90%.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % Now calculate the coefficient of variation for Stock B. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. Is it possible that most investors might regard Stock B as being less risky than Stock A? I. If Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a lower beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense. II. If Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have the same beta as Stock A, and hence be just as risky in a portfolio sense. III. If Stock B is less highly correlated with…

The first stock (Stock A) has an expected return of 25% and a standard deviation of 20%; the second stock (Stock B) has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 10%. If the correlation between the stocks is 0.10, what are the weight of Stock A (WA) and Weight of Stock B(WB) in the minimum-variance portfolio? WA=17.39%, WB=82.61% WA=14.29%, WB=85.71% WA=10.30%, WB=89.70% WA=30.25%, WB=69.75%
