Which of the following statements on portfolio selection is correct? Group of answer choices The expected return on the tangency portfolio can be lower than the expected return on the minimum variance portfolio. Assuming there are no arbitrage opportunities, there can be two risk-free assets yielding different risk-free rates. When two risky assets are perfectly negatively correlated, the standard deviation of their minimum variance portfolio equals zero. The tangency portfolio of risky assets provides investors with the highest expected return.

Which of the following is FALSE? The efficient portfolios provide the highest expected return for a a given level risk (i.e., the standard deviation). The market risk is diversifiable. The unsystematic risk is diversifiable. With the ability to borrow and lend at the risk-free rate, there is one BEST efficient risky portfolio to hold, the tangency portfolio (identified by the tangent point of the capital market line and the efficient frontier).

1. The optimal risky portfolio _____. is the minimum-variance portfolio has the highest expected return has no systematic risk lies on the efficient frontier 2. Stock 1 has an expected return of 9% and a standard deviation of 27%. Stock 2 has an expected return of 15% and a standard deviation of 23%. Their correlation is -0.24. You invest 50% in stock 1 and 50% in stock 2. a. What is the standard deviation of the portfolio? b. What is the expected return of the portfolio? 3. The return on Visa stock has a standard deviation of 36% and the return on Walmart stock has a standard deviation of 20%. Their correlation is 0.26. a. If you invest 70% in Visa and 30% in Walmart, what is the variance of the portfolio? b. What is the standard deviation of the portfolio? 4. Stock 1 has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 32%. Stock 2 has an expected return of 3% and a standard deviation of 20%. Their correlation is 0.56. a.
