The following table provides estimates of risk and return for Asian and U.S. stocks:

	US	Asian
Expected Return	8%	15%
Standard Deviation	12%	20%

Correlation between Asian and U.S. stocks = -0.25

1. What is the expected return and standard deviation of each of the following portfolios?

Portfolio #	Fraction in US	Fraction in Asian
1	1	0
2	.8	.2
3	.6	.4
4	.4	.6
5	.2	.8
6	0	1

2. What are the portfolio weights, expected return and risk of the minimum risk portfolio

3. Which of the above portfolios are dominated by the minimum risk portfolio

4. Identify all portfolios that should be eliminated from consideration.
