Subtracting risky assets will generally move the efficient frontier _____ and to the ____.
A. up, right
B. down, right
C. up, left
D. down, left
Ans- Option D. Down, left
As in efficient frontier X-axis denotes Standard deviation and Y-axis denotes required Return. Since, subtracting risky assets will reduce risk and will move the efficient frontier to the left. Subtracting risking assets will also reduce expected return (as risky assets provides higher return) which will move the efficient frontier down.

We consider different risky portfolios consisting of two risky assets X and Y. Suppose the expected return and standard deviation of the Minimum Variance Portfolio (MVP), M, are 9.05% and 1.04%. There are four other risky portfolios consisting of X and Y: A) Portfolio A: E(rA) = 8.25% and σA = 1.10%. B) Portfolio B: E(rB) = 9.20% and σB = 1.05%. C) Portfolio C: E(rC) = 8.70% and σC = 1.05%. D) Portfolio D: E(rD) = 8.53% and σD...

QUESTION 2 Which is false about the Markowitz efficient frontier? a. The Markowitz efficient frontier is composed of portfolios that investors will find superior, given assumptions of rationality and risk aversion. b. The Markowitz efficient frontier is a graph that plots the efficient “solution set” to a given set of mean-variance parameters. c. The Markowitz efficient frontier will contain two portfolios with the same standard deviation if they have different expected returns.
Which of the following is a TRUE statement? A The tangent portfolio is the risky portfolio on the efficient frontier whose tangent line cuts the horizontal axis at the risk-free rate. B The new (or super) efficient frontier represents the portfolios composed of the risk-free rate and the tangent portfolio that offers the highest expected rate of return for any given level or risk. C The separation theorem states that the investment decision, (how to construct the portfolio of risky...
