Question: please use questions 1,2,&3 to answer question 4 Please answer question 4 and show all work updated with question 4**** also answer question 5 please



1). (answer is given) Tabulate and draw the investment opportunity set of the two risky funds. Use investment proportions for the stock fund of 0% to 100% in increments of 20%. What expected return and standard deviation does your graph show for the minimum-variance portfolio? 529 - 110.4 1,024 + 529 - Answer: The parameters of the opportunity set are: E(rs) = 15%, E(re) = 9%, os = 32%, Op = 23%, r=0.15, r;= 5.5% So Cov(rs, Tp) = posOp = 110.4%% The minimum-variance portfolio proportions or weights are: 1 ox? - Covers.ru) WMin(S) oslo 200V(SI) 0.3142 (see the following table) 9 - (2 x110.4) WMin(B) = 1 -0.3142 = .6858 (see the following table) The mean and standard deviation of the minimum variance portfolio are: E(TMin) =(,3142 x 15%) + (0.6858 x 9%) = 10.89%. (see the following table) O Min = [wsos +W3OB+2 ws Wg Cov(rs, 1))"2 = [(0.31422 x 1024) + (0.68582 x 529) + (2 x 0.3142 0.6858 x 110.4)]1/2 19.94% (See the following table for the investment opportunity set) Table for Investment Opportunity Set % in stocks in bonds Exp.

Investment Opportunity Set 20 I 15 10 Expected Return (%) 5 0 0 10 40 20 30 Standard Deviation (%) 3). Please finish the following three sub-problems. (1) What is the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal (tangency) risky portfolio? (Hint: The weights of the two risky assets within the optimal risky portfolio is simply given in the table above, W=0.6466; WE=0.3534) Expected Return = 12.88% Standard Deviation = 23.34% (2) Then what is the Sharpe ratio of the optimal risky portfolio? Sharpe Ratio = .3162 (3) Is the Sharpe ratio of the optimal risky portfolio equal to the Sharpe ratio of the best complete portfolio when you add the risky-free asset? Yes 4). Assume that one client's complete portfolio must yield an expected return of 12%. What will be the standard deviation of his complete portfolio that the manager will tell him about? (Hint: This is a question for complete portfolio. You should find the weights of the risky portfolio and risk-free asset within this particular complete portfolio first by using the conditions given that the expected return of complete portfolio is 12%, the risk-free interest rate is 5.5%, and the expected return of risky portfolio obtained in Question 3 (1) above. Then you can get the standard deviation of the complete portfolio based on the standard deviation of the risky portfolio. See Chapter 5 for formulas) 5). Assume that one client would like to use only the two risky assets (stock and bond stated above) in his portfolio and require an expected return of 12%, what will be the standard deviation of his risky portfolio that the manager will tell him about? (Hint: You should find weights of the two risky assets within the risky portfolio by using the conditions given that the expected return of this risky portfolio is 12%, and E(rs) = 15%, E(TR) = 9%; no risk-free assets are involved here, so it is NOT a question about complete portfolio anymore but a question about risky portfolio. See Chapter 6 for formulas)
