If I have a portfolio that is 1/3 A and 2/3 B and A has a mean of 9 and a variance of 3, and B has a mean of 6 and a variance of 1, and the two have a covariance of ‐1, find the expected return of this portfolio.
If I have a portfolio that is 1/3 A and 2/3 B and A has a mean of 9 and a variance of 3, and B has a mean of 6 and a variance of 1, and the two have a covariance of ‐1, find the variance of the portfolio. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. For example if your answer is 0.666, then please write down 0.67.

An investor has her $1 million portfolio invested in two different mutual funds as follows: $400,000 in a small-cap fund and $600,000 in a balanced fund. The small-cap fund has an expected return of 12% and a variance of 625, whereas the balanced fund has an expected return of 7% and a variance of 81. The covariance between the two funds is 122. Find the investor’s expected portfolio return and standard deviation. Select one: a. Expected Return = 9.5%; standard...
Question 3. Capital asset pricing model. (2 points) The expected return on the market portfolio is 9%. The risk free rate is 5%. The variance of the market portfolio returns is 0.08 and the covariance of the market and GE returns is 0.06. Calculate beta for GE. a) Interpret what beta means. b) Calculate the expected return for GE stock, how is it compared to the expected return on the market portfolio? c) If you form a portfolio with 75%...

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...
Intro Assume that there are only two stocks in the economy, stock A and stock B. The risk-free asset has a return of 3%.
