Hello- I had tried this problem and was able to complete part A, the standard deviation. However I could not get the correct answer for part B. At the bottom of this question, I've attached the work I did (which is partially wrong). Please help with part B. I will upvote immediately!Hello- I had tried this problem and was able to complete part B) What is the proportion invested in the money market fund and each of the two risky funds? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Proportion Invested
Money market fund 39.51. (WRONG) %
Stocks 21.68 (WRONG) %
Bonds 38.81 (WRONG) %

The Work I did (partially incorrect)

Return required from risky assets,

12% = wR + 4% - 4%w

=> 8%/w + 4% = R

The weights in risky portfolio when sharpe ratio is highest is

Stock s = 0.358473

Stock b = 0.641527

Rp = 0.358473*23% + 0.641527*14% =17.226%

Sp = 15.9443%

=> 8%/w + 4% = R

=> 8%/w + 4% = 17.226%

=> w = 8%/13.226% = 60.49%

Standard Deviation = Wp*Sp = 60.49%*15.9443% = 9.64%

Money Market Fund = 1- 60.49% = 39.51%

Stocks = 60.49%*0.358473 = 21.68%

Bonds = 60.49%*0.641527 = 38.81%

A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term bond fund, and the third is a money market fund that provides a safe return of 4%. The characteristics of the risky funds are as follows: Stock fund (S) Bond fund (B) Expected Return 23% 14 Standard Deviation 29% 17 The correlation between the fund returns is 0.12. You require that your portfolio yield an expected return of 12%, and that it be efficient, that is, on the steepest feasible CAL. a. What is the standard deviation of your portfolio? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Answer is complete and correct. Standard deviation 9.64 %
