Problem 11-22 Portfolio Returns and Deviations

  

  

If your portfolio is invested 40 percent each in A and B and 20 percent in C , what is the portfolio expected return? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  

What is the variance? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 5 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16161))

  

  

What is the standard deviation? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  

  

If the expected T-bill rate is 3.80 percent, what is the expected risk premium on the portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  

  

If the expected inflation rate is 3.50 percent, what are the approximate and exact expected real returns on the portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  

  

What are the approximate and exact expected real risk premiums on the portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  

Consider the following information about three stocks:

Explanation / Answer

A1.Portfolio expected return- Above the table-Boom=0.3,normal=.114,Bust=-0.156

A2 Standand Deviation(E(RP)=0.3(.3)+.45(.114)+.25(-0.156)=0.1023

portfoli=.3(.3-.1023)^2+..45(.114-.1023)^2+.25(-0.156-.1023)^2=0.1585

A3 Variance= SD2=(0.1585)^2=.0251

B1 Risk premium=E(rp)-Rf=0.1023-.038=0.643

C1--Expected real return=0.1023-.035=0.673

C2-Expected real risk premium=0.643-.035=0.608
