2018	17.00		16.00			15.00
2019	18.00		15.00			16.00
2020	19.00		14.00			17.00

You have explored three options for Mr. Welsh which include:

(a) full 100 percent investment in Asset A,

(b) 50 percent in asset A and 50 percent in asset B,

(c) a 50 percent in asset A and 50 percent in asset C.

B. Given the above investment options, and the forecasted information, you were asked to determine the expected returns, standard deviation of returns and coefficient of variation of returns for each of the three options and provide your Manager with a recommendation for investment for Mr. Welsh. You must also provide the workings as part of your report and comment on the correlation for options AB and AC.
