There are three assets, A, B and C, where A is the market portfolio and C is the risk-free asset. The return on the market has a mean of 12% and a standard deviation of 20%. The risk-free asset yields a return of 4%. Asset B is a risky asset whose return has a standard deviation of 40% and a market beta of 1. Assume that the CAPM holds. Compute the expected return of asset B and its covariances with...

Problem 1: What is the variance of a portfolio with: w1 =0.2, w2
=0.8, σ12 =10, σ22 =20,
and σ12 =5.
Problem 2: a) If the stocks 1 and 2 have negative correlation
12 then their covariance σ12 is
also negative. Yes, no, uncertain. Explain. b) If stocks 1 and 2
are uncorrelated, i.e.
12=0 then their covariance is zero, Yes, no,
uncertain. Explain c) If stocks 1 and 2 have variance
σ2=16 each, could their covariance be equal to...
