 ii.Expected returns 

iii.standard deviation 

iv.Correlation Coefficient 

2.Construct the variance-covariance matrix 

3.Construct equally weighted portfolio and calculate Expected Return, Standard Deviation and Sharpe ratio. 

4.Reconstruct equally weighted portfolio and calculate Expected Return, Standard Deviation and Sharpe ratio. 

5.Use Solver to determine optimal risky portfolio. 

6.Create hypothetical portfolios (commencing from Weight A=0 and weight B=100) 

7.Calculate Expected return and Standard Deviation for all the above combinations 

8.Graph the efficient frontier 

9.Graph the optimal portfolio 

10.Assuming that the investors prefers lower level of risk than what a portfolio of risky assets offer, introduce a risk free asset in the portfolio with a return of 3% 

11.Using hypothetical weights (A= Portfolio of Risky Assets, B= 1 Risk Free Asset) calculate portfolio Expected Return and Standard Deviation 

12.Graph the risk and returns - Capital Allocation Line.
