I think that the answer is A
Given the following information:
Part A:
The expected return on an equally
weighted portfolio of these three stocks is given by:
Part B:
Value of a portfolio invested 21
percent each in A and B and 58 percent in C is given by
For boom: 0.21(0.09) + 0.21(0.03) + 0.58(0.34) = 0.0189 + 0.0063 + 0.1972 = 0.2224 or 22.24%.
For bust: = 0.21(0.23) + 0.21(0.29) + 0.58(-0.14) = 0.0483 + 0.0609 - 0.0812 = 0.028 or 2.8%
Expected return = 0.66(0.2224) + 0.34(0.028) = 0.1468 + 0.00952 = 0.1563 or 15.63%
The variance is given by
(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) = 3^x + 10x - (4x - 2) = 3^x + 6x + 2 Answer
