Portfolio analysisYou have been given the expected return data shown in the first table on three assets F, G, and H over the period 2019-2022: LOADING...

.

Historical Return

Year Asset F Asset G Asset H

2019 19% 20% 17%

2020 20% 19% 18%

2021 21% 18% 19%

2022 22% 17% 20%

Using these assets, you have isolated the three investment alternatives shown in the following table:

. Alternative Investment

1 100% of asset F

2 50% of asset F and 50% of asset G

3 50% of asset F and 50% of asset H.

a.Calculate the average return over the 4-year period for each of the three alternatives.

b.Calculate the standard deviation of returns over the 4-year period for each of the three alternatives.

c.Use your findings in parts a and b to calculate the coefficient of variation for each of the three alternatives.

d.On the basis of your findings, which of the three investment alternatives do you think performed better over this period? Why?

1.The expected return over the 4-year period for alternative 1 is ....?%. (Round to two decimal place.)

The expected return over the 4-year period for alternative 2 is....?%. (Round to two decimal place.)

The expected return over the 4-year period for alternative 3 is ????.%. (Round to two decimal place.)

2.The standard deviation of returns over the 4-year period for alternative 1 is

....?%. (Round to two decimal places.)

The standard deviation of returns over the 4-year period for alternative 2 is ....? %. (Round to two decimal places.)

The standard deviation of returns over the 4-year period for alternative 3 is ....?%. (Round to two decimal places.)

3..The coefficient of variation for alternative 1 is

(Round to three decimal places.)

The coefficient of variation for alternative 2 is

(Round to three decimal places.)

The coefficient of variation for alternative 3 is

(Round to three decimal places.)

4.On the basis of your findings, which of the three investment alternatives do you recommend? Why?

(Alternative 1 or 2 or 3)

is the best choice because the assets are........ (positively correlated, perfectly positively correlated, negatively correlated, uncorrelated, perfectly negatively correlated?)
