5. Consider the following two portfolios: Portfolio Bond Portfolio Stock Portfolio Expected Return 5% Standard Deviation 15% 15% 32% (a) If the correlation coefficient is -0.80 for these two risky assets, what is the minimum variance portfolio you can construct (i.e., what percentage of investment in each)? (b) What is the expected return and standard deviation of the MVP (minimum variance portfolio) using your allocation of wealth to bonds and stocks? (c) If the correlation coefficient is -0.80 for these two risky assets and the risk-free rate is 3% what is the optimal portfolio of these two assets? (d) What is the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal portfolio? 5.
