Consider the following information about a risky portfolio that you manage and a risk-free asset: E(rp) = 8%, op = 15%, rf = 2% Required: a. Your client wants to invest a proportion of her total investment budget in your risky fund to provide an expected rate of return o her overall or complete portfolio equal to 8%. What proportion should she invest in the risky portfolio, P, and what proportion in risk-free asset? b. What will be the standard deviation of the rate of return on her portfolio? c. Another client wants the highest return possible subject to the constraint that you limit his standard deviation to be no more tha 12%. Which client is more risk averse? Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.

Can someone give an example or scenario about the following: 1. Capital Asset Pricing Model2. Market Risk premium3. Risk free rate4. Security market line5. Systematic risk
a) First, ignore the fact that r,rf depends on whether you are long or short the risk-free asset. Suppose rrf = 2%. Solve for the tangency portfolio. b) asset. Suppose rrf = 9%. Solve for the tangency portfolio. Again, ignore the fact that rrf depends on whether you are long or short the risk-free Now, for parts c) to f) of the questions, let's take into account that rrf depends on whether c) you are long or short the risk-free asset. Draw out the shape of the efficient frontier. (Hint: think about what (E, o) pairs you can achieve via investing positive amounts in the risk-free asset, and investing negative amounts in the risk-free asset (borrowing). You will use your answers to parts A. and B.). The drawing does not need to be to scale, but needs to illustrate correctly the shape of the efficient frontier. d) deviation of 10%. Solve for the optimal portfolio for the client (that is, the weights wA, WB,Wrf which maximize the client's expected return, conditional on the standard…
