333 CHAPTER 8 Risk and Return a. If the returns of assets V and W are perfectly positively correlated (correlation coefficient = +1), describe the range of (1) expected return and (2) risk associ- ated with all possible portfolio combinations. b. If the returns of assets V and W are uncorrelated (correlation coefficient = 0), describe the approximate range of (1) expected return and (2) risk associated with all possible portfolio combinations c. If the returns of assets...
