1.) Consider two risky assets A and B with E(r_A)= 15%, Sigma_A= 32%, E(r_B)= 0.09, Sigma_B= 23%, corr_A,_B= 0.2. The risk free rate is 5%. The optimal risky portfolio of comprised of the two risky assets is to allocate 64% to A and the rest to B. What is the standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio ?

Select one:

a. 23.61%

b. 22.86%

c. 20.75%

d. 23.00%

2.) Continued with previous question. What is the Sharpe ratio of the optimal risky portfolio?

Select one:

a. 0.29

b. 0.31

c. 0.33

d. 0.35

3.) If your target expected return is 12%, lower than the expected return of the optimal risky portfolio, which is comprised of 64% risky asset A and 36% risky asset B, which of the following statements is not correct?

Select one:

a. The asset allocation is 57.06% in A, 32.10% in B and 10.84% in the risk-free.

b. invest 89.16% of your capital in this optimal risky portfolio and the rest in the risk-free asset

c. The sigma of your complete portfolio is 21%

d. not invest in the optimal risky portfolio but choose another portfolio on the investment opportunity set that has expected return of 12%.

4.) Continue to use the information from previous questions.

If you only invest in the two risky assets A and B, not the risk-free asset and your target expected return is still 12%, what should be the portfolio composition ?

Select one:

a. 60% in A and 40% in B

b. 65% in A and 35% in B

c. 50% in A and 50% in B

d. 64% in A and 36% in B

5.) Continue to apply the information given or answers solved in previous questions.

Compare the previous two portfolios with the same expected return of 12%, one with investment in the risk-free asset and another one without investment in the risk-free asset. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

Select one:

a. The portfolio without investment in the risk-free asset has higher standard deviation than the portfolio with investment in the risk-free asset.

b. The portfolio without investment in the risk-free asset sits on the investment opportunity set comprised of the two risky assets A and B.

c. The portfolio without investment in the risk-free asset locates below the optimal capital allocation line.

d. The portfolio without investment in the risk-free asset situates to the left of the optimal risky portfolio on the same capital allocation line.
