Step 1
The expected return is calculated by multiplying the probability of each outcome by its corresponding return and summing them up. In this case, we have two outcomes: a boom with a probability of 10% and a recession with a probability of 22%. The returns for these Show more…

Suppose a financial market that has only two risky assets, stocks A and B, whose details are given in the following table. Assuming that this market satisfies the CAPM and there exists a risk-free asset, answer the following questions: Number of shares outstanding: 100 (Stock A), 150 (Stock B) Expected rate of return: 13% (Stock A), 12% (Stock B) Standard deviation of returns: 15% (Stock A), 20% (Stock B) Correlation between returns: 0.9 Price per share: $15 (Stock A), $520 (Stock B) Find: i) The expected rate of return and ii) the standard deviation of return of the market portfolio. iii) The weight of stocks A and B. iv) The risk-free rate. v) The slope of the capital market line. vi) Suppose you have an investment opportunity whose standard deviation is 50%. What is the minimal level of mean return for you to choose this investment?
Question 4: Introduction to Risk and Return (25 marks) (i) You are advising an investor who has $30,000 to invest in two securities: Spot and Dot. After doing an extensive analysis of the economy and the two securities, you came up with the following forecasts: State of the Economy Probability of Occurrence Expected Return Boom 5% 20% Normal 60% 10% Bust 25% 4% a) What are the expected returns of Spot and Dot shares? (5 marks) b) What are the standard deviations of the returns on Spot and Dot? (5 marks) c) Estimate the covariance of the returns on Spot and Dot. (2.5 marks) d) What is the correlation coefficient between Spot and Dot returns? (5 marks) e) How much of the money should be invested in Spot and how much in Dot if you wish to have an expected return of 12 percent on the portfolio? (5 marks) f) Compute the standard deviation of the portfolio in (e). (5 marks) Why does diversification reduce risk? Answer the question with reference to why the standard deviation of the portfolio in (f) above is lower than the standard deviation of the two stocks (in b) that make up the portfolio. (5 marks)
