Find the expected rate of return on each of the following two portfolios of these securities: Portfolio A where wA = WB = Wc Portfolio B where wA = WB = 2wc Assume that you currently have $10,000 and that the risk of each portfolio is 10%. Which portfolio which you choose and why? b) How much will you have invested in each security in each instance? c) What is the expected value of the portfolio one year from today? d) What is the expected return on the portfolio in $ terms, assuming no taxes nor fees?
You are considering investing $1,000 in a T-bill that pays 0.06 and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with two risky securities, X and Y. The weights of X and Y in P are 0.40 and 0.60, respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 0.14 and variance of 0.01, and Y has an expected rate of return of 0.10 and a variance of 0.0081. If you want to form a portfolio with an expected rate of return of 0.11, what percentages of your money must you invest in the T-bill and P, respectively
An investor can design a risky portfolio based on two stocks, X and Y. Stock X has an expected return of 13% and a standard deviation of return of 15%. Stock Y has an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of return of 19%. The correlation coefficient between the returns of X and Y is 0.15. The risk-free rate of return is 3%. How much does the investor need to invest in each stock to create the optimal portfolio? O Wx=40% and Wy=60% Wx=45% and Wy=55% Wx-50% and Wy=50% Wx-55% and Wy=45% Wx-60% and Wy=40%
You are considering investing $1000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of Treasury bills that pay 2.5% and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with two risky securities, X and Y. The optimal weights of X and Y in P are 35% and 65%, respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 21%, and Y has an expected rate of return of 9%. The dollar values of your position in X would be _________, if you decide to hold a complete portfolio that has an expected return of 11%.

Suppose the total risk of Portfolios A, B and C are 49% ², 64%² and 100% ² respectively. The market price of risk is 8%. The Market Portfolio (M) has an expected return and a total risk of 11% and 100% respectively. (a) You want to form another Portfolio H by investing $7,000 in Portfolio A and $3,000 in Portfolio B. Compute the standard deviation of Portfolio H if the correlation coefficient between Portfolio A and Portfolio B is: i) perfectly positively correlated ii) uncorrelated iii) perfectly negatively correlated (b) If the expected return of Portfolio C is 9.4% and it is lying on the Securities Market Line, what is the beta of Portfolio C? State the answer in %². (c) Is Portfolio C a Market Portfolio as it has same level of total risk (i.e. 100% 2) as the Market Portfolio? Why or Why not?
