For no systematic risk, beta = 0
So,
0 = x(0.80) + (1 - x)(1.20)
0 = 0.80x + 1.20 - 1.20x
0.40x = 1.20
x = 1.20/0.40
x = 3
So,
x1 = 3.0

Consider the following two assets. Returns on asset 1 has a mean of ui and standard deviation of 01. Returns on asset 2 has a mean of j2 and standard deviation of 02. The correlation coefficient p1,2 measures how the two assets' returns are correlated, and it takes on values between -1 and +1. An investor puts W1 fraction of her wealth into stock 1, and W2 =1-W1 fraction of her wealth into stock 2. 1. Using the equation on...
