Question
Chapter 6, Problem 1PS
Summary Introduction
To determine:
True of the correlation coefficient in forming a portfolio of two risky investments between their returns in case their gains are ascertained from diversification
Introduction:
Portfolio involves financial asset grouping viz. currencies, commodities, bonds, stocks and cash equivalents. It also comprises of fund counterparts such as closed funds, exchange traded funds and mutual funds. Non-publicly tradable securities such as private, art and real estate investment are also part of portfolios.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1PS
The portfolio tends to benefit from diversification as long as the correlation coefficient stands to be less than 1.0.
Explanation of Solution
Correlation coefficient refers to the statistical measure that determines the relationship strength between relative movements associated with 2 variables. The correlation measurement stands to be incorrect if the correlation coefficient stands less than -1.0 and greater than 1.0. In this situation, the return pertaining to component securities does not move with respect to perfect lockstep. The standard deviation of the portfolio stands to be less in comparison to the weighted average of the component's security standard deviation.

Ethical dilemma: Sunflower Manufacturing has applied for a $10 million working capital loan at The Democrat Federal Bank (known as The Democrat). But the person who is evaluating the loan application, Sheli, has determined that the bank should lend the company only $2 million. Sheli’s analysis of Sunflower suggests that the company does not have the financial strength to support the higher loan. However, if Sunflower is not granted the loan for the requested amount, the company might take its banking business to a competitor of The Democrat. Also, The Democrat is having financial difficulties that might result in future layoffs. Sheli might be affected by the bank’s layoffs if her division does not meet its quota of loans.
