Homework Answers
ANSWER:
Portfolio beta = weighted average beta of stocks = 1.2 {since both stocks have same beta}
Portfolio Returns = weighted average returns of stocks = 12% {since both stocks have same returns}
Standard deviation of Portfolio is always less than or equal to weighted average standard deviation of stocks.
If correlation = 1, Standard deviation of Portfolio is equal to weighted average standard deviation of stocks.
If correlation < 1, Standard deviation of portfolio is less than weighted average standard deviation.
In above case, correlation among stocks is 0.6, therefore portfolio standard deviation will be less than weighted average standard deviation of stocks which 25%.
Therefore, option d is correct
d. Portfolio P has a standard deviation that is less than 25%.
