Two Asset Portfolio- Stock A has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 40%. Stock B has an expected return of 18% and a standard deviation of 60%. The correlation between Stock A and B is 0.2. What are the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio invested 30% in Stock A and 70% in Stock B? (Please show work)
Consider two types of assets: market portfolio (M) and stock A.
The expected return is 8% and standard deviation of the market portfolio is 15%. The risk-free rate is 2%. The standard deviation of market portfolio returns is 15%. The standard deviation of stock A is 30%, and the beta coefficient is 1.
Draw the capital market line and show the position of stock A.
