The risk-free rate is 5%. A risky portfolio has an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of return of 20%. If you want to form a complete portfolio from these two assets, and you want this portfolio to have an expected return greater than 5% but less than 10% what must you do? Assume that all borrowing and lending can be done at the risk-free rate. a. Lend at the risk free rate b. borrow at the risk...

Stocks A & B have the expected returns and standard deviations shown in the table below: Stock E(R) 12% 30% 19% 50% The correlation between A and B is 0.4. The risk-free rate is 3% and you have a risk-aversion parameter of 2. What is the proportion of your investment in A and B, respectively, in your optimal risky portfolio?
