- Consider two assets. Suppose that the return on asset 1 has expected value 0.05 and standard deviation 0.1 and suppose that the return on asset 2 has expected value 0.02 and standard deviation 0.05. Suppose that the asset returns have correlation 0.4.Consider a portfolio placing weight w on asset 1 and weight 1-w on asset 2; let Rp denote the return on the portfolio. Find the mean and variance of Rp as a function of w.arrow_forwardA stock's beta coefficient can be calculated using the following equation: B₁ = Oi, m σε m a. Write a user-defined function that can calculate the beta coefficient. The argu- ments to the function should be the covariance between the stock and market returns, and the variance of the market's returns. For example, BETA (COVAR AS SINGLE, MARKET VAR AS SINGLE). b. Rewrite your function so that it accepts ranges of returns and then calcu- lates the beta directly from the returns. It should be defined as: BETA(STOCK- RETURNS AS RANGE, MARKETRETURNS AS RANGE). Your function should make use of Application. WorksheetFunction to calculate the covariance and variance (use Excel's COVAR.S and VAR.S functions). In the code, be sure to check to see if the number of stock returns is equal to the number of market returns. The function should return an error if the count of returns is not equal.arrow_forwardThe probability distribution of returns for the two stocks X and Y are as follows: Probability 0.1 0.3 0.05 0.25 0.15 0.15 For each of the two stocks, calculate: a.
