Problem 6-05
Given:
E(R1) = 0.09 | |
E(R2) = 0.17 | |
E(σ1) = 0.04 | |
E(σ2) = 0.05 |
Calculate the expected returns and expected standard deviations of a two-stock portfolio in which Stock 1 has a weight of 60 percent under the conditions given below. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers for the expected returns of a two-stock portfolio to three decimal places and answers for expected standard deviations of a two-stock portfolio to four decimal places.

Weight of Stock 1 =60%
E(R1)=0.09
E(σ1) = 0.04
Weight of Stock 2 =40%
E(R2)=0.17
E(σ2) = 0.05
a) at r1,2 = 1.00
Expected Return =Weight of Stock 1*E(R1)+Weight of Stock 2*E(R2)
=60%*0.09+40%*0.17 =0.122
Standard Deviation =((Weight of
1*E(σ1))^2+(Weight of
2*E(σ2))^2+2*Weight of 1*Weight of
2*E(σ1)*E(σ2)*r1,2)^0.5
=((60%*0.04)^2+(40%*0.05)^2+2*60%*40%*0.04*0.05*1)^0.5=0.0440
b) at r1,2 = 0.7
Expected Return =Weight of Stock 1*E(R1)+Weight of Stock 2*E(R2)
=60%*0.09+40%*0.17 =0.122
Standard Deviation =((Weight of
1*E(σ1))^2+(Weight of
2*E(σ2))^2+2*Weight of 1*Weight of
2*E(σ1)*E(σ2)*r1,2)^0.5
=((60%*0.04)^2+(40%*0.05)^2+2*60%*40%*0.04*0.05*0.7)^0.5=0.04060
c) at r1,2 = 0.2
Expected Return =Weight of Stock 1*E(R1)+Weight of Stock 2*E(R2)
=60%*0.09+40%*0.17 =0.122
Standard Deviation =((Weight of
1*E(σ1))^2+(Weight of
2*E(σ2))^2+2*Weight of 1*Weight of
2*E(σ1)*E(σ2)*r1,2)^0.5
=((60%*0.04)^2+(40%*0.05)^2+2*60%*40%*0.04*0.05*0.2)^0.5=0.0342
d)at r1,2 = 0
Expected Return =Weight of Stock 1*E(R1)+Weight of Stock
2*E(R2) =60%*0.09+40%*0.17 =0.122
Standard Deviation =((Weight of
1*E(σ1))^2+(Weight of
2*E(σ2))^2+2*Weight of 1*Weight of
2*E(σ1)*E(σ2)*r1,2)^0.5
=((60%*0.04)^2+(40%*0.05)^2+2*60%*40%*0.04*0.05*0)^0.5=0.0312
e) at r1,2 = -0.2
Expected Return =Weight of Stock 1*E(R1)+Weight of Stock
2*E(R2) =60%*0.09+40%*0.17 =0.122
Standard Deviation =((Weight of
1*E(σ1))^2+(Weight of
2*E(σ2))^2+2*Weight of 1*Weight of
2*E(σ1)*E(σ2)*r1,2)^0.5
=((60%*0.04)^2+(40%*0.05)^2+2*60%*40%*0.04*0.05*-0.2)^0.5=0.0280
f)at r1,2 = -0.7
Expected Return =Weight of Stock 1*E(R1)+Weight of Stock
2*E(R2) =60%*0.09+40%*0.17 =0.122
Standard Deviation =((Weight of
1*E(σ1))^2+(Weight of
2*E(σ2))^2+2*Weight of 1*Weight of
2*E(σ1)*E(σ2)*r1,2)^0.5
=((60%*0.04)^2+(40%*0.05)^2+2*60%*40%*0.04*0.05*-0.7)^0.5=0.0174
g) at r1,2 =-1
Expected Return =Weight of Stock 1*E(R1)+Weight of Stock
2*E(R2) =60%*0.09+40%*0.17 =0.122
Standard Deviation =((Weight of
1*E(σ1))^2+(Weight of
2*E(σ2))^2+2*Weight of 1*Weight of
2*E(σ1)*E(σ2)*r1,2)^0.5
=((60%*0.04)^2+(40%*0.05)^2+2*60%*40%*0.04*0.05*-1)^0.5=0.0040
