Weight of risky asset in a complete optimal portfolio can be calculated using following formula:
y = ((E(rp) - rf)/(A*SD(p)^2)
So weight of risk free asset in such a portfolio = 1-y
Given to us,
E(rp) = 5%
SD(p) = 10%
rf = 2%
A = 5
So, y = (0.05 - 0.02)/(5*0.1^2) = 0.6 or 60%
So, weight of risk-free asset Wf = 1-0.6 = 0.4 or 40%

An investor has mean-variance utility preferences: U = E(R) – 0.5A02 coefficient of risk aversion A = 5. market expected return is E(RM) = 5% standard deviation of the market is om = 10%. risk-free rate is Rf = 2%. Under CAPM, what's the weight of the risk-free assets (Wf) on your optimal portfolio?

An investor has a risk aversion coefficient of 5. The expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio are 15% and 25%, respectively. If the Sharpe ratio of the optimal capital allocation line is 0.48, what is the proportion of the investor’s combined portfolio that should be invested in the risky portfolio that would maximise their utility?

The universe of available securities includes two risky stocks A and B, and a risk-free asset. The data for the universe are as follows: Assets Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock A 6% 25% Stock B 12% 42% Risk free 5% 0 The correlation coefficient between A and B is -0.2. The investor maximizes a utility function U=E(r)−σ2 (i.e. she has a coefficient of risk aversion equal to 2). Assume that to maximize his utility when there is no available risk-free...

A mean-variance investor is constructing an optimal portfolio. The stock of Thunder Electric has an expected return of 3% and zero correlation with all other available risky assets. The risk-free rate is 3%. A rational mean variance investor should hold some non-zero position in the stock because it diversifies the portfolio. True/False/Uncertain

An investor’s utility function for expected return and risk is U = E(r) − 4σ2. Which of the following would this investor prefer to invest in: A risk-free security offering a return of 8 percent per year A risky portfolio with expected return of 14 percent per year and standard deviation of 25 percent per year Select one: a. Risk-free security b. Risky portfolio

(2*5) Consider a market with many risky assets and a risk-free security. Asset’s returns are not perfectly correlated. All the CAPM assumptions hold and the market is in equilibrium. The risk-free rate is 5%, the expected return on the market is 15%. Mr. T and Mrs. R are two investors with mean-variance utility functions and different risk-aversion coefficients. They both invest into efficient portfolios composed of the market portfolio and the risk-free security. Mr. T’s portfolio has an expected return...
