Question

Suppose that you want to create a portfolio that consists of a corporate bond fund, X, and a common stock fund, Y. For a $1,000 investment, the expected return for X is $68 and the expected return for Y is $103. The variance for X is 1,375 and the variance for Y is 11,075. The covariance of X and Y is 4,691. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. Compute the portfolio expected return and portfolio risk if you put $300 in the corporate bond fund and $700 in the common stock fund. The portfolio expected return is $ 92.5 (Type an integer or a decimal.) The portfolio risk is S 86.72 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. Compute the portfolio expected return and portfolio risk if you put $500 in each fund. The portfolio expected return is $ 85.5 Type an integer or a decimal.) The portfolio risk is S (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

b)from given data as distribution is equal therefore

for portfolio risk =(0.52*1375+0.52*11075+2*0.5*0.5*4691)1/2 =73.88
