please answer asap and i will leave a thumb up!!! Problem 1(30 points): (Box method)
Assume you hold an equally-weighted portfolio of \(\mathrm{N}=100\) stocks. (i.e.\( w_{i}=\frac{1}{N}=0.01\)). Variances of individual stock are the same and equal to \(\sigma^{2}=8\). Assume all stocks are divided into two groups: group A stocks are from 1-50 and group B are from 51-100. Any pair of stocks from group A have pairwise covariances of 1. Any pair of stocks from group B have covariance of 1. Stocks from different groups are uncorrelated with each other.
a)(10 points) Find contribution to total variance of your equally-weighted portfolio from stock variances
b)(20 points) Find contribution to total variance of your equally-weighted portfolio from stock covariances and calculate total variance of your portfolio.
