Problem 11-25 Portfolio Returns and Deviations [LO 2]

Consider the following information on a portfolio of three stocks:

State of Economy	Probability of State of Economy	Stock A Rate of Return	Stock B Rate of Return	Stock C Rate of Return
Boom	.13	.04	.34	.58
Normal	.53	.12	.14	.22
Bust	.34	.18	.13	.37

Required:
(a)	If your portfolio is invested 36 percent each in A and B and 28 percent in C, what is the portfolios expected return, the variance, and the standard deviation? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your variance answer to 5 decimal places (e.g., 32.16161) and input your other answers as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Expected return	%

Standard deviation	%

(b)	If the expected T-bill rate is 3.85 percent, what is the expected risk premium on the portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
