In the above $110K allocation problem, you decided to allocate 30% weight in A, 50% weight in B, 20% weight in C, and you want to find its AVG return. Which of the following is the appropriate method to find the mean (AVG) return on the $100K fund invested?   a. Weighted Average (WAVG )   b. Simple Average   c. Geometric Average   d. Arithmetic Average

INV 1 6d You have decided to invest in three mutual funds: one in equities, one in long corporate and government bonds, and a money market fund invested in T-bills yielding 5%. Your estimate of the relevant parameters for the equities and bond funds are as follows:   Expected Return Standard Deviation Equities .15 .30 Bonds .06 .09   The correlation between the fund returns is 0.12. Without the money market fund, what would be the weights of a portfolio on the best feasible CAL, composed of the equities and bond funds which would be expected to return 10%, and what would be its standard deviation?

Problem 7-8 A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term bond fund, and the third is a money market fund that provides a safe return of 4%. The characteristics of the risky funds are as follows: Stock fund (S) Bond fund (B) Expected Return 23% 14 Standard Deviation The correlation between the fund returns is 0.12. Sharpe ratio 29% 17 What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to 4 places.) Check my work

INV 1 6f You have decided to invest in three mutual funds: one in equities, one in long corporate and government bonds, and a money market fund invested in T-bills yielding 5%. Your estimate of the relevant parameters for the equities and bond funds are as follows:   Expected Return Standard Deviation Equities .15 .30 Bonds .06 .09   The correlation between the fund returns is 0.12. Compare the portfolios in #4 and #5. Is this consistent with what you would expect when adding the T-bill money market fund as essentially the risk-free asset?

Problem 6-6 (Algo) Consider the following table: Scenario Probability Stock Fund Rate of Return Bond Fund Rate of Return Severe recession 0.10 -44% -11% Mild recession 0.20 -24% 17% Normal growth 0.40 29% 10% Boom 0.30 34% -7% Required: a. Calculate the values of mean return and variance for the stock fund. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Mean return" value to 1 decimal place and "Variance" to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the value of the covariance between the stock and bond funds. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
