I need the standard deviation of the portfolio with stock B please!
The expected return and standard deviation of Stock A are 12% and 24%, respectively. The expected return and standard deviation of Stock B are 5% and 19%, respectively. The correlation between the two stocks is 0.4. The risk-free rate in the economy is 1%. A. What is the Sharpe ratio for Stock A and Stock B? Show your calculation steps briefly and clearly. B. Calculate the optimal risky portfolio P*. You do not need to show your calculation steps for this subquestion. C. Now suppose that the correlation between the two stocks is -0.2 (instead of 0.4). Re-calculate the optimal risky portfolio P* and compare it to your answer in Part B. What do you observe? You do not need to show your calculation steps for this subquestion. D. Using the results above, briefly explain why investors might still consider investing in stocks with a (relatively) low Sharpe ratio as a part of their portfolio.

An investor can design a risky portfolio based on two stocks, X and Y. Stock X has an expected return of 13% and a standard deviation of return of 15%. Stock Y has an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of return of 19%. The correlation coefficient between the returns of X and Y is 0.15. The risk-free rate of return is 3%. How much does the investor need to invest in each stock to create the optimal portfolio? O Wx=40% and Wy=60% Wx=45% and Wy=55% Wx-50% and Wy=50% Wx-55% and Wy=45% Wx-60% and Wy=40%
Ms. B has $1000 to invest. She is considering investing in the common stock of company M. In addition, Ms. B will either borrow or lend at the risk-free rate. Ms. B decide to invest $350 in common stock of company M and $650 placed in the risk- free asset. The relevant parameters are 1) What is the expected return? 2) What is the variance of the portfolio? 3) What is the standard deviation of the portfolio?
