A portfolio invested 50% in Asset 1 and 50% in Asset 2 is formed.
Compute the portfolio's expected return.
Select one:
a. 11.22%
b. 4.71%
c. 12.38%
d. 9.09%

Weight of Asset 1 = 0.5 |
Weight of Asset 2 = 0.5 |
return of Portfolio = Weight of Asset 1*return of Asset 1+Weight of Asset 2*return of Asset 2 |
return of Portfolio = 15*0.5+9.75*0.5 |

Stocks A and B each have an expected return of 15%, a standard deviation of 20%, and a beta of 1.2. The returns on the two stocks have a correlation coefficient of -1.0. You have a portfolio that consists of 50% A and 50% B. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? The portfolio's standard deviation is zero (i.e., a riskless portfolio). The portfolio's beta is greater than 1.2. The portfolio's standard deviation is greater than 20%. The portfolio's expected...

Suppose there are three assets: A, B, and C. Asset A’s expected return and standard deviation are 1 percent and 1 percent. Asset B has the same expected return and standard deviation as Asset A. However, the correlation coefficient of Assets A and B is −0.25. Asset C’s return is independent of the other two assets. The expected return and standard deviation of Asset C are 0.5 percent and 1 percent. (a) Find a portfolio of the three assets that...
6. Consider the following information for Stocks 1 and 2: Expected Standard Stock Return Deviation 1 20% 40% 2 12% 20% NE a. The correlation between the returns of these two stocks is 0.3. How will you divide your money between Stocks 1 and 2 if your aim is to achieve a portfolio with an expected return of 18% p.a.? That is, what are the weights assigned to each stock? Also take note of the risk (i.e., standard deviation) of...
Asset 1 has 6% expected return and 5% standard deviation.Asset 2 has 12% expected return and 10% standard deviation A. If the correlation coefficient is less than one, then no portfolio obtained by combining assets 1 and 2 can have an expected return larger than 6%. B. If the correlation coefficient is equal to one, then no portfolio obtained by combining assets 1 and 2 can have a standard deviation lower than 5%. C. If the correlation coefficient is less...
Asset K has an expected return of 10 percent and a standard deviation of 28 percent. Asset L has an expected return of 7 percent and a standard deviation of 18 percent. The correlation between the assets is 0.40. What are the expected return and standard deviation of the minimum variance portfolio?
Asset K has an expected return of 16 percent and a standard deviation of 35 percent. Asset L has an expected return of 10 percent and a standard deviation of 16 percent.
