P.14 An investor holding a portfolio consisting of two stocks invests 25% of assets in Stock A and 75% into Stock B. The return RA from Stock A has a mean of 4% and a standard deviation of A = 8%. Stock B has an expected return E(RB) = 8% with a standard deviation of ob = 12%. The portfolio return is P = 0.25RA +0.75RB. (a) Compute the expected return on the portfolio. (b) Compute the standard deviation of...

An investor invests 100 dollars in a stock. The return X (in dollars) after 10 years has MGF given by M(t) = exp(180t + 800(t^2)). (a) Find the mean, variance and standard deviation of the return. (b) Find the probability that the return is more than the initial investment. (c) Find the probability that the return is in between 150 and 200 dollars. (d) If Y = e^(X−100), find the density of Y .

. An investor has an opportunity to buy stock in two publicly traded companies: Avvoltoio Airlines and Unctuous Energy. If the investor puts her money in a stock, and the company does well, she earns a return of S14. If the company does not do well, she earns S2. Avvoltoio tends to do well when oil prices are low; Unctuous tends to do well when oil prices are high. The returns are therefore negatively correlated. Returns have the following probability...
