Calculate the average rate of return for each stock during the 5-year period. b. Suppose you had held a portfolio consisting of 50% of Stock A and 50% of Stock B. What would have been the realized rate of return on the portfolio in each year? What would have been the average return on the portfolio during this period? c. Calculate the standard deviation of returns for each stock and for the portfolio. d. Suppose you are a risk-averse investor.

You are given the following returns on "the market" and Stock F during the last three years. We could calculate beta using data for Years 1 and 2 and then, after Year 3, calculate a new beta for Years 2 and 3. How different are those two betas, i.e., what's the value of beta 2 - beta 1? (Hint: You can find betas using the Rise-Over-Run method, or using your calculator's regression function.)

uppose the average return on Asset A is 7.1 percent and the standard deviation is 8.3 percent, and the average return and standard deviation on Asset B are 4.2 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively. Further assume that the returns are normally distributed. Use the NORMDIST function in Excel® to answer the following questions. a. What is the probability that in any given year, the return on Asset A will be greater than 12 percent? Less than 0 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b.

You own a portfolio that has $2,045 invested in Stock A and $4,096 invested in Stock B. If the expected returns on these stocks are 14 percent and 8 percent, respectively, what is the expected return (in percent) on the portfolio? Answer to two decimals.
You are constructing a portfolio of two assets, Asset A and Asset B. The expected returns of the assets are 12 percent and 16 percent. respectively. The standard deviations of the assets are 29 percent and 37 percent, respectively. The correlation between the two assets is 41 and the risk-free rate is 3.4 percent. What is the optimal Sharpe ratio in a portfolio of the two assets? What is the smallest expected loss for this portfolio over the coming year with a probability of 2.5 percent? (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your Sharpe ratio answer to 4 decimal places and the z-score value to 3 decimal places when calculating your answer. Enter your smallest expected loss as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
