Answer a.
Weight of Stock A = 40%
Weight of Stock B = 40%
Weight of Stock C = 20%
Boom:
Expected Return = 0.40 * 0.02 + 0.40 * 0.32 + 0.20 * 0.50
Expected Return = 0.2360
Normal:
Expected Return = 0.40 * 0.10 + 0.40 * 0.22 + 0.20 * 0.20
Expected Return = 0.1680
Bust:
Expected Return = 0.40 * 0.16 + 0.40 * (-0.21) + 0.20 *
(-0.35)
Expected Return = -0.0900
Expected Return of Portfolio = 0.13 * 0.2360 + 0.55 * 0.1680 +
0.32 * (-0.0900)
Expected Return of Portfolio = 0.0943 or 9.43%
Variance of Portfolio = 0.13 * (0.2360 - 0.0943)^2 + 0.55 *
(0.1680 - 0.0943)^2 + 0.32 * (-0.0900 - 0.0943)^2
Variance of Portfolio = 0.01647
Standard Deviation of Portfolio = (0.01647)^(1/2)
Standard Deviation of Portfolio = 0.1283 or 12.83%
Answer b.
Expected Risk Premium of Portfolio = Expected Return of
Portfolio - Risk-free Rate
Expected Risk Premium of Portfolio = 9.43% - 4.25%
Expected Risk Premium of Portfolio = 5.18%
