- An investiment portfolio consists of two securities, X and Y. The weight of X is 30%. Asset X's expected return is 15% and the standard deviation is 28%. Asset Y's expected return is 23% and the standard deviation is 33%. Assume the correlation coefficient between X and Y is 0.37. A. Calcualte the expected return of the portfolio. B. Calculate the standard deviation of the portfolio return. C. Suppose now the investor decides to add some risk free assets into this portfolio. The new weights of X, Y and risk free assets are 0.21, 0.49 and 0.30. What is the standard deviation of the new portfolio?Consider two types of assets: market portfolio (M) and stock A. The expected return is 8% and standard deviation of the market portfolio is 15%. The risk-free rate is 2%. The standard deviation of market portfolio returns is 15%. The standard deviation of stock A is 30%, and the beta coefficient is 1. Draw the capital market line and show the position of stock A.A two-asset portfolio has the following characteristics. The correlation coefficient between the returns of the two assets is +0.1. Asset Expected Return Expected Standard Deviation Weight A 12% 3% 0.8 B 20% 7% 0.2 Calculate the expected return and the risk (i.e. standard deviation) of this two-asset portfolio. Comment on the risk of this portfolio relative to the two individual assets. Suppose the correlation coefficient between A and B was -1.0. How can an investor obtain a zero risk portfolio consisting of A and B?
- An investor has a portfolio of two assets A and B. The details are shown in the below table.

The portfolio weight in asset A is -100%. b. The correlation of asset A and B’s returns is 0.3. c. The investor can benefit from a fall in the price of asset A. d. The variance of the portfolio is 2.33. e. The order of short selling is borrowing, buying, selling, and returning.If a given stock in the portfolio had established 1.23 beta; the related expected return is at 11.7percent, and 3.5percent is the current earning of a risk-free asset; a. Determine the expected return on a portfolio that is equally invested in the two assets? b. If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 0.7, what are the portfolio weights? c. If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 9%, what is its beta? d. If a portfolio of the two assets has a beta of 2.46, what are the portfolio weights? How do you interpret the weights for the two assets in this case? Discuss.Consider two assets A and B with expected return as 9% and 5%, respectively.

E(X) = $70, E(Y)3D$120, o =7,000, a = 14,000, and ory =7,500 If the weight of portfolio assets assigned to investment X is 0.3, compute the a. portfolio expected return and b. portfolio risk. a. If the weight of portfolio assets assigned to investment X is 0.3, the portfolio expected retum is $ (Type an integer or a decimal.) b. If the weight of portfolio assets assigned to investment X is 0.3, the portfolio risk is approximately $. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)Given there are two assets making up a portfolio where each asset has the following characteristics: Asset Risk (standard deviation) Expected return 10% 1 4% 2 16% 11% The correlation between the two assets is -1. (a) Given that the proportion invested in each asset is 50%, compute the expected return of the portfolio. (b) Given that the proportion invested in each asset is 50%, compute the portfolio risk, i.e. standard deviation of the portfolio.

- (4) Please answer the following short questions with what you have learned. There is a portfolio of two assets - 30% investment in Stock A and 70% investment in Stock B. The correlation of returns between Stock A and Stock B is 0.50. The covariance between these two stocks is 0.0043, and the standard deviation of the return of Stock B is 26%. Requirements: (a) Please calculate the standard deviation of the return of Stock A. (b) Please calculate the standard deviation of the return of portfolio. (c) If we increase more and more different stocks in the portfolio, will it always decrease the risk (standard deviation) of the return of the portfolio? Please explain your answer in detail.The data on the expected return of 2 stocks (M and C) along with the economic conditions and their probabilities is attached below Questions : Calculate the expected return for asset M and asset C. Calculate the standard deviation for asset M and asset C. c) If asset M is a market portfolio, while the beta (β) for asset C is 1.25 and the risk-free asset is 6%. What is the required rate of return for asset C according to the CAPM method ?. .Consider an investment portfolio that consists of three different stocks, with the amount invested in each asset shownbelow. Assume the risk-free rate is 2.5% and the market risk premium is 6%. Use this information to answer thefollowing questions.Stock Weights BetasChesapeake Energy 25% 0.8Sodastream 50% 1.3Pentair 25% 1.0a) Compute the expected return for each stock using the CAPM and assuming that the stocks are all fairly priced.b) Compute the portfolio beta and the expected return on the portfolio.c) Now assume that the portfolio only includes 50% invested in Pentair and 50% invested in Sodastream (i.e., a twoassetportfolio). The yearly-return standard deviation of Pentair is 48% and the yearly-return standard deviation ofSodastream is 60%.
