A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a rate of 8%. The probability distribution of the risky funds is as follows:
E(r) σ
Stock Fund (S) 20% 30%
Bond Fund (B) 12% 15%
The correlation between the funds is 0.10.
*What are the investment proportions in the minimum-variance portfolio of the two risky funds, and what is the expected value and standard deviation of its rate of return?
*Solve numerically for the proportions of each asset and for the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio
*The market index has a standard deviation of 22% and the risk-free rate is 8%.
The following are estimates for two stocks:
Firm-Specific
Standard Deviation = σ(εi)
Stock E(r) β
A 13% 0.8 30%
B 18% 1.2 40%
(a) What are the standard deviations of stocks A and B?
(b) Suppose that were to construct a portfolio with proportions:
Stock A: .30
Stock B: .45
T-bills: .25
Compute the expected return, standard deviation, beta , and nonsystematic standard deviation of the portfolio.

One question from a survey was "how many credit cards do you currently have? " the results of the survey are provided. complete parts (a) through (g) below. click the icon to view the survey results. (a) determine the mean number of credit cards based on the raw data. the mean is 3.113.11 credit cards. (type an integer or a decimal. do not round.) (b) determine the standard deviation number of credit cards based on the raw data. the standard deviation is 1.9111.911 credit cards. (round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) determine a probability distribution for the random variable, x, the number of credit cards issued to an individual. x (# of cards) p(x) x (# of cards) p(x) 1 0.280.28 6 nothing 2 nothing 7 nothing 3 nothing 8 nothing 4 nothing 9 nothing 5 nothing 10 nothing (type integers or decimals. do not round.)
