A second version of the Markowitz portfolio model maximizes expected return subject to a constraint that the variance of the portfolio must be less than or equal to some specified amount. Consider the Hauck Financial Service data.

	Annual Return (%)
Mutual Fund	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3	Year 4	Year 5
Foreign Stock	10.06	13.12	13.47	45.42	-21.93
Intermediate-Term Bond	17.64	3.25	7.51	-1.33	7.36
Large-Cap Growth	32.41	18.71	33.28	41.46	-23.26
Large-Cap Value	32.36	20.61	12.93	7.06	-5.37
Small-Cap Growth	33.44	19.40	3.85	58.68	-9.02
Small-Cap Value	24.56	25.32	-6.70	5.43	17.31

(a)

Construct this version of the Markowitz model for a maximum variance of 34.

Let:
	FS = proportion of portfolio invested in the foreign stock mutual fund
	IB = proportion of portfolio invested in the intermediate-term bond fund
	LG = proportion of portfolio invested in the large-cap growth fund
	LV = proportion of portfolio invested in the large-cap value fund
	SG = proportion of portfolio invested in the small-cap growth fund
	SV = proportion of portfolio invested in the small-cap value fund
	= the expected return of the portfolio
	R_s = the return of the portfolio in years

If required, round your answers to two decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300) If the constant is "1" it must be entered in the box. If your answer is zero enter 0.
