Sharpe Ratio =(Expected returns-risk free rate)/standard deviation
Expected returns of A=0.4*20%+0.6*(-10%)=2.000%
Standard deviation of A=sqrt(0.4*(20%-2%)^2+0.6*(-10%-2%)^2)=14.832%
Sharpe Ratio of A=(2%-1%)/14.832%=0.06742
Sharpe Ratio of B=(1.5%-1%)/10%=0.05000
A is more attractive as it has higher Sharpe ratio

13) An important measure of asset performance is called Sharpe ratio which is defined as SR= , where R and o are the asset return and volatility (standard deviation of returns) respectively, and Rf is risk-free return. Asset A has a return of 20% in upside state with probability of 0.4 and -10% in downside state with probability of 0.6 Asset B offers a 1.5% return with a volatility of 10%. Given a risk-free rate of 1%, which asset (A...

The Sharpe ratio measure on a portfolio which earns 12 percent, with a standard deviation of 30 percent and beta of 1.27 is: A. 0.40 B. 0.094 C. 0.508 D. There is not enough information. I am leaning towards not having enough information because the Sharpe's ratio also needs the average risk-free rate of return. Am I correct?

29) Which of the following statements is FALSE? A) The Sharpe ratio of the portfolio tells us how much our expected retun will increase for a given increase in volatility B) We should continue to trade securities until the expected r return of each security equals its required return.

How does the portfolio possibility curve look like if you have a portfolio consisting of asset A (a share with a volatility of 10% and an expected return of 8%) and asset B which is risk-free (rf 1%)? Please sketch the curve and indicate clearly the min. variance and the max. sharpe point. Another question from me relating this question: what would the sigma (variance) of a risk-free asset be?

8.2
The coefficient of variation is a better measure of stand-alone risk than standard deviation because it is a standardized measure of risk per unit; it is calculated as the -Select- divided by the expected return. The coefficient of variation shows the risk per unit of return, so it provides a more meaningful risk measure when the expected returns on two alternatives are not -Select- .. The Sharpe ratio compares the asset's realized excess return to its -Select- over a...
