1. What is your expected portfolio return of an investment portfolio with a 60/40 allocation of stocks and bonds, respectively, if you expect long term equities to return 8%, and long term bonds to return 2%? 5.6% 6.2% 4.8% 5.1% 2. You are looking into developing your first investment portfolio. After assessing your risk tolerance, you believe that an 90/10 allocation of stocks and bonds, respectively, is where you want to begin. You believe that 7% is what stocks will return over the next ten years, and 4% is what you expect to return in your bond portfolio. If you invest $300/month for the next ten years, what will your portfolio be worth? $51,077 $47,579 $52,843 $44,880
