a
Adequate information:
Risk-free Asset E(rp)=11%
sp=15%
rf=5%

Where
E(rc)= Expected return of the portfolio
rf=Risk free rate
y=Proportion invested
E(rp)=Expected return of the risky portfolio
Risk-aversion: It can be described as the preference of sure return or outcome over an investment which has either equal value or even more high value.
b
Adequate information:
Risk-free Asset E(rp)=11%
sp=15%
rf=5%
Expected rate of return or complete portfolio=8%
To compute: The standard deviation of the rate of return related to client’s portfolio.
Introduction:
Capital Allocation Line (CAL): It states the prevailing market equilibrium conditions for various portfolios which consist of both risky and risk-free investment. The formula used to calculate CAL is as follows:
Where
E(rc)= Expected return of the portfolio
rf=Risk free rate
y=Proportion invested
E(rp)=Expected return of the risky portfolio
Risk-aversion: It can be described as the preference of sure return or outcome over an investment which has either equal value or even more high value.
c
Adequate information:
Risk-free Asset E(rp)=11%
sp=15%
rf=5%
Expected rate of return or complete portfolio=8%
To compute: The standard deviations of another client with the condition that limit does not cross more than 12% and compare the risk aversion of both the clients.
