Answer to Problem 6CP

The value of Sharpe ratio is 0.222 and 0.462 and Treynor ratio is 6.67 and 6.

Explanation of Solution

The Sharpe ratio of the X portfolio and S&P 500 is calculated below,

  Sharpe ratio=RPIRFσP here Rp is portfolio return, IRF is risk free rate, and σp is standard deviation.

  For portfolio X, Sharpe ratio = ( .10.06) / 0.18                                            = 0.222For S&P 500, Sharpe ratio = ( 0.12.06)/ .13                                        = 0.462

Treynor ratio for X portfolio and S&P 500 is calculated below,

  Treynor ratio=RpIRFβP , here Rp is portfolio return, IRF is risk free rate.

  For portfolio X, treynor ratio = ( 106)/0.6                                             = 6.67For S&P 500, treynor ratio = ( 126)/1.0                                         = 6
