Question:
States | Probabilities | S | B |
1 | 0.4 | 25% | 15% |
2 | 0.3 | 35% | 20% |
3 | 0.2 | 15% | 25% |
4 | 0.1 | 15% | 30% |
Required: (show your step no excel ) formula and solution.
1- Compute and analyze the correlation between S and B round your answer to 2 decimals.
2- If you would like to create minimum variance portfolio, how much weight you will allocate to S and B?
3- Compute the expected return and risk of the minimum variance portfolio.
4- How do you call the curve representing all the possible combinations between S and B?
5- Explain with you own words how to draw this graph? If you would like to create the optimal portfolio.
6- Explain with your own words how to find out graphically the optimal portfolio.
7- Compute how much weight you will allocate to S and B in the optimal portfolio.
8- Compute the expected return and risk of the optimal portfolio (2 Marks) The beta of the stock S is 0.5 while the beta of the stock B is 2:
9- Indicate for each stock S and B whether it's overpriced, under-priced or fairly priced and explain the reason.
