You have been given the expected return data shown in the first table on three assets$-$F$,$

$G,$ and $H-$ over the period $2018-2021$

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

table.

$40\%of$ asset $F$ and $60\%of$ asset $G$

$50\%of$ asset $F$ and $50\%of$ asset $H$

a$.$ Calculate the expected return over the $4-$year period for each of the three alternative

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

recommend? Why?
