You have been given the expected return data shown in the first table on three assetsF, G, and Hover the period 2016-2019:

Expected Return

Year Asset F Asset G Asset H

2016 13% 14% 11% 2017 14% 13% 12% 2018 15% 12% 13% 2019 16% 11% 14%

Using these assets, you have isolated the three investment alternatives shown in the following table:

Alternative		Investment
1		100% of asset F
2		50% of asset F and 50% of asset G
3		50% of asset F and 50% of asset H

a.Calculate the expected return over the 4-year period for each of the three alternatives.

b.Calculate the standard deviation of returns over the 4-year period for each of the three alternatives.

c.Use your findings in parts a and b to calculate the coefficient of variation for each of the three alternatives.

d.On the basis of your findings, which of the three investment alternatives do you recommend? Why?

a.The expected return over the 4-year period for alternative 1 is_____%.(Round to two decimal place.)

The expected return over the 4-year period for alternative 2 is______%.(Round to two decimal place.)

The expected return over the 4-year period for alternative 3 is______%.(Round to two decimal place.)

b.The standard deviation of returns over the 4-year period for alternative 1 is______%.(Round to two decimal places.)

The standard deviation of returns over the 4-year period for alternative 2 is______%.(Round to two decimal places.)

The standard deviation of returns over the 4-year period for alternative 3 is_____%.(Round to two decimal places.)

c.The coefficient of variation for alternative 1 is________(Round to three decimal places.)

The coefficient of variation for alternative 2 is __________(Round to three decimal places.)

The coefficient of variation for alternative 3 is __________(Round to three decimal places.)

d.On the basis of your findings, which of the three investment alternatives do you recommend? Why?

Alternative _________ is the best choice because the assets are______________________.
