Suppose that Treasury bills offer a return of about 6% and the expected market risk pre­mium is 8.5%. The standard deviation of Treasury-bill returns is zero and the standard deviation of market returns is 20%. Use the formula for portfolio risk to calculate the stan­dard deviation of portfolios with different proportions in Treasury bills and the market. (Note: The covariance of two rates of return must be zero when the standard deviation of one return is zero.) Graph the expected returns and standard deviations.
