Chapter 2.4, Problem 20ES

Commuting A survey of 1500 commuters in New York City showed that 1140 take the subway, 680 take the bus, and 120 do not take either the bus or the subway.

a. How many commuters take both the bus and the subway?

b. How many commuters take only the subway?

29% of all college students major in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). If 46 college students are randomly selected, find the probability thata. Exactly 11 of them major in STEM. b. At most 12 of them major in STEM. c. At least 11 of them major in STEM. d. Between 11 and 15 (including 11 and 15) of them major in STEM.
4. Assume that a risk-free money market account is added to the market described in Q3. The continuously compounded rate of return on the money market account is log (1.1). (i) For each given μ, use Lagrange multipliers to determine the proportions (as a function of μ) of wealth invested in the three assets available for the minimum variance portfolio with expected return μ. (ii) Determine the market portfolio in this market and calculate its Sharp ratio.
3. A market consists of two risky assets with rates of return R₁ and R2 and no risk-free asset. From market data the following have been estimated: ER₁ = 0.25, ER2 = 0.05, Var R₁ = 0.01, Var R2 = 0.04 and the correlation between R1 and R2 is p = -0.75. (i) Given that an investor is targeting a total expected return of μ = 0.2. What portfolio weights should they choose to meet this goal with minimum portfolio variance? Correct all your calculations up to 4 decimal points. (ii) Determine the global minimum-variance portfolio and the expected return and variance of return of this portfolio (4 d.p.). (iii) Sketch the minimum-variance frontier in the μ-σ² plane and indicate the efficient frontier. (iv) Without further calculation, explain how the minimum variance of the investor's portfolio return will change if the two risky assets were independent.
