Tesla

Eagle

Expected return

13%

20%

Standard Deviation of return

45%

Correlation of coefficient (p)

0.4

 

Compute the expected return of your portfolio. Also, Compute the expected risk (standard deviation) of the portfolio. 

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Tesla return (RA) = 13%

Eagle return (RB) = 20%

Tesla weight (WA) = 500/(500+700)

                    = 500/1200

                    = 0.4167

Eagle return (WB) = 1-0.4167 = 0.5833

 

Therefore

        Expected return of portfolio = (RA*WA)+(RB*WB)

                                                         = (0.13*0.4167)+(0.20*0.5833)

                                                         = 0.0542+0.1167

                                                         = 0.1709 or 17.09%
