Question 1 Use the information for the question(s) below. Suppose you have $10,000 in cash and you decide to borrow another $10,000 at a 6% interest rate to invest in the stock market. You invest the entire $20,000 in an exchange traded fund (ETF) with a 12% expected return and a 20% volatility. The expected return on your investment is closest to:? The volatility of your investment is closest to? Assuming that the EFT you invested in returns -10%, then the realized return on your investment is closest to?

Answer 1 If we increase x beyond 100%, we get points beyond P in the graph. In this case, we are short selling the risk-free investment, so we must pay the risk-free return. That is, short selling the risk-free investment is equivalent to borrowing money at the risk-free interest rate through a standard loan.
Question 2 Use the information for the question(s) below. Suppose that you currently have $250,000 invested in a portfolio with an expected return of 12% and a volatility of 10%. The efficient (tangent) portfolio has an expected return of 17% and a volatility of 12%. The risk-free rate of interest is 5%. The Sharpe ratio for the efficient portfolio is closest to?

Question 3 Use the information for the question(s) below. Suppose that you currently have $250,000 invested in a portfolio with an expected return of 12% and a volatility of 10%. The efficient (tangent) portfolio has an expected return of 17% and a volatility of 12%. The risk-free rate of interest is 5%. You want to maximize your expected return without increasing your risk. Without increasing your volatility beyond its current 10%, the maximum expected return you could earn is closest to?
Answer 3 By investing in a combination of the risk-free asset and the efficient portfolio.
Question 4 Use the information for the question(s) below. You are presently invested in the Luther Fund, a broad-based mutual fund that invests in stocks and other securities. The Luther Fund has an expected return of 14% and a volatility of 20%. Risk-free Treasury Bills are currently offering returns of 4%. You are considering adding a precious metals fund to your current portfolio. The metals fund has an expected return of 10%, a volatility of 30%, and a correlation of -.20 with the Luther Fund. What is the beta of the precious metals fund with the Luther Fund? The required return on the precious metals fund is closest to?
