1 1 Consider the following probability distribution for stocks X and Y : State 1 2 3 Probability .25 .5 .25 Return on stock X 13% 10% -6% Return on stock Y 14% 10% -8% The correlation coefficient between the two stocks is 0.20. Write your answers to two decimal places. 1) What are the expected rates of return of stocks X and Y? 2) What is the risk for stocks X and Y? 3) Assume that the universe is composed only of stocks X, Y. Draw an approximation of the opportunity set. Mark on the graph 1) stocks X and Y2) The efficient frontier 3) the minimum variance portfolio (G) and 4) label of the axis. 4) If there exist a risk-free asset (rf) that earns 3% annual return. Find the weights of stock X and Y in the optimal risky portfolio. 5) Return and risk of the optimal risky portfolio (P). 6) Draw the efficient frontier in the presence of a risk-free asset and mark portfolio P on the graph in question 3 above 7) Salwa wants to invest in a complete portfolio. What proportion of investment should Salwa invest in the optimal risky portfolio? Identify Weight of P, Weight of stocks X and Y, and Weight of risk-free rate. Salwa's degree of risk aversion is 7. 8) What are the risk and return for Salwa'complete portfolio? 9) What is Salwa's utility when investing in the complete portfolio? 10) Draw the indifference curve that maximises Salwa's utility on the graph in question 3. 11) Mira has a degree of risk aversion of 2. Roughly show in the graph in question 3 above the location of Mira's complete portfolio
