To calculate the variance of a three-stock portfolio, you need to add nine boxes: Variance of a three-stock portfolio $x_1^2 \sigma_1^2$ $x_1 x_2 \sigma_{12}$ $x_1 x_3 \sigma_{13}$ [Select] [Select] [Select] $x_1 x_2 \sigma_{12}$ $x_2^2 \sigma_2^2$ $x_2 x_3 \sigma_{23}$ [Select] [Select] [Select] $x_1 x_3 \sigma_{13}$ $x_2 x_3 \sigma_{23}$ $x_3^2 \sigma_3^2$ [Select] [Select] [Select] Use the same symbols that we used; for example: x1 = proportion invested in stock 1 $\sigma_{12}$ = covariance between stocks 1 and 2 For each box, indicate whether the value is correct or incorrect

QUESTION 10 You have a portfolio of investment which consists of Stock A with a return of A% and Stock B with a return of B%. Given the following average returns and standard deviations for both Stock A and Stock B, M(A) = 18%, M(B) = 51% s(A) = 1%, s(B) = 14% what is the absolute risk (standard deviation) of your portfolio assuming that the returns of Stock A and Stock B are uncorrelated? Hint: Notice that the return of your portfolio will be A+B and the Variance Sum Laws apply to the variances not standard deviations. Answer should be in % accurate up to 2 decimal places.
