Question: Sharpe Ratio. Security A has expected excess return E[RA rf ] = 10% and volatility sigma(A) = 20% and security B has E[RB rf ]
Sharpe Ratio. Security A has expected excess return E[RA rf ] = 10% and volatility
sigma(A) = 20% and security B has E[RB rf ] = 5% and sigma(B) = 20% . The correlation

(a) Security A .
(b) Security B .
(c) A portfolio consisting of 60% A and 40% B .
(d) Security B levered four times, i.e. 400% B financed by borrowing 300% at the risk
