Most total risk has security L.
Reason: higher standard deviation.
________________________________
Higher expected return has security M.
Reason: higher beta.
______________________
Correlation 0 due to no perfectly positive correlation.
Portfolio standard deviations =(50%*25%) +(50%*20%)
Portfolio standard deviations = 22.50%
Answer: Option B

(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...

....................... Standard Deviation ......... Beta Security X .............. 0.35 ........................ 1.45 Security Y .............. 0.28 ........................ 1.06 Security Z .............. 0.44 ......................... 1.22 . Which security has the greatest expected return? . A. Y because it has the lowest standard deviation. B. X because it has the largest beta coefficient. C. Z because it has the highest ratio of standard deviation to beta. D. Y because it has the lowest beta coefficient, and therefore the lowest systematic risk. E. It...
(20 points) Suppose that the return of stock A is normally distributed with mean 4% and standard deviation 5%, the return of stock B is normally distributed with mean 8% and standard deviation 10%, and the covariance between the returns of stock A and stock B is -30(%)2. Now you have an endowment of 1 dollar, and you decide to invset w dollar in stock A and 1 - w dollar in stock B. Let rp be the overall return...

Compute the expected return, standard deviation, beta, and nonsystematic standard deviation of the portfolio. 4. Assume that the total market value of an initial portfolio is $300,000. Suppose that the owner of this portfolio wishes to decrease risk by reducing the allocation to the risky portfolio from y = 0.7 to y = 0.56. How do you reallocate your risky portfolio? 5. Which of the following factors reflect pure market risk for a given corporation? a. Increased short-term interest rates....
