A pension fund manager is considering the following three mutual funds,

i$.$ A risk$-$free money market fund with $8\%$ return,

ii$.$ a stock fund $(S)$ with $E(R_S)=20\%$ and standard deviation $[E(R_S)]=30\%,$

iii. a bond fund $(B)$ with $E(R_B)=12\%$ and standard deviation $[E(R_B)]=15\%,$

The correlation coefficient between the stock and bond funds is ${}_{S_{B}B}=0\mathrm{.}10$

A$.$ What are the investment proportions in the minimum$-$variance portfolio $($MVP$)$ of S and B and what are the

expected return $E(R_P)$ and the standard deviation $[E(R_P)]$ of this MVP$?(4$ points$)$

B$.$ Tabulate and draw the investment opportunity set of the risky funds, S and B$.$ Use investment proportions for

Stock fund of $0\%$ to $100\%$ in increments of $20\%.(4$ points$)$

C$.$ Draw a tangent from the risk$-$free rate to the opportunity set. What does your graph show for the expected

return and standard deviation of the optimal portfolio? $(4$ points$)$

D$.$ Compute the weights of each asset and the expected return and the standard deviation of the optimal risky

portfolio. $(4$ points$)$

E$.$ What is the Sharpe ratio of the best possible CAL? $(4$ points$)$
