• Consider two assets A and B for which return distributions can be summarized as follows

_{(ATTACHED ARE THE DISTRIBUTIONS)}

What is the risk of the minimum risk portfolio composed of these two Stocks? (Hint: Use Solver in Excel to minimize s_p²). Is the risk of the minimum risk portfolio below that of every constituent asset? What is the expected rate of return on the minimum risk portfolio?
