The following 3 assets are available to an investor: (1) Asset A: Er=0.12, A = 0.30 (2) Asset V: Ery = 0.24 oy = .60 2 (3) Asset R: ETR = 0.20 σR = .40 Also: ry=0.04. PAV = 0.20, PAR = 4, PVR = 0.1 are the correlation coefficients between assets A and V. A and R and V and R respectively. The investor considers investing in one of the following portfolios: P with w=0.6 and y = 0.4 and Z: with wy 0.5 and wR = 0.5. (a) Examine portfolio: P with wA=0.6 and wy 0.4. Calculate Erp, op (b) Examine portfolio: Z with wy = 0.5 and R = 0.5. Calculate Erz, oz (c) Which portfolio should the manager choose? Answer by calculating and comparing the Sharpe ratios for these 2 portfolios.
