Investment A has an expected return of 10% with a standard deviation of 3.5%. Investment B has an expected return of 6% with a standard deviation of 1.2%. If you invest equally in both investments; a) What is the expected return and standard deviation of your portfolio assuming the rates of return are independent? b) If your initial total investment was $1000, what is the probability that your portfolio value is worth more than $1000? (hint: find the distribution of portfolio using the mean and variance of the rates you obtained in a)

You invest $100 in a risky asset with an expected rate of return of 0.12 and a standard deviation of 0.15, and a T-bill with a rate of return of 0.05. What percentages of your money must be invested in the risky asset and the risk-free asset, respectively, to form a portfolio with a standard deviation of 0.06?
