Consider a market model with three scenarios and two risky assets with rates of return rı and r2, respectively. Let the joint distribution of the rates is as follows: Probability 40% 40% 20% rı (Return on Asset 1) -2% 9% r2(Return on Asset 2) 3% 5% 8% 5% (a) Find the expected return u for each asset: Hi = E[rı] = % to 2 decimal places M2 = E[r2] = % to 2 decimal places (b) Find the risk o...

Exercise 2. Suppose that there is one risk free asset with return rf and one risky asset with normally distributed returns, r ~ N(u,02). Show that the CARA utility u(r) = -e-Ar gives the same optimal allocation of wealth to the risky asset as the mean-variance utility function we used in class. That is, show that E[r] – rf OCARA = AO2 Hint: Use the fact that if a random variable x is distributed normally with mean Mx and variance...

Consider a market model with three assets: two risky assets (#1 and #2) and one risk-free asset (#3). The risk-free rate of interest is r = 3%. The parameters of the risky returns are as follows: 02 = 15%, Mi = 6%, H2 = 9%, 01 = 10%, P12 = -10%. 1. Let u(x) and g(x) with xe (-0,00) denote, respectively, the expected return and volatility of my portfolio if I allocate 100x% of...

Question 5 3 pts Consider two assets, A and B, with the following equally likely rates of return: A will return either 3%, 6%, or 3.5%. B will return either 2.5%, 8%, or 7.5 Asset A Asset B 3.5% 7.5% 3.0% 6.0% 8.0% 2.5% Find the expected rates of return for assets A and B.

The return profiles of 2 assets are given below. What is the minimum risk, in terms of standard deviation, that can be achieved with a portfolio that holds these two assets? The weight of the 2 assets must be positive and sum up to 1. That is, holding 0 of each and thus having 0 risk is not allowed. (Hint: let weight in asset A be w, and weight in asset B be 1-w. The standard deviation of the portfolio...

pricing model (CAPM) explains how risk should be considered when
stocks and other assets are held . The CAPM states that any stock's
required rate of return is the risk-free rate of return plus a risk
premium that reflects only the risk remaining diversification. Most
