You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 28%. The T-bill rate is 8%. Your

risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 25 % Stock B 32 % Stock C 43 % Suppose that your client decides to invest in your portfolio a proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 16%. a. What is the proportion y?

Answer:

y = 0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The expected rate of return for risky portfolio E(r_p) = 0.18

- The T-bill rate is r_f = 0.08

Find:

Investing proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 16%.

What is the proportion y?

Solution:

- The proportion y is a fraction of expected risky portfolio and the left-over for the T-bill compliance. Usually we see a major proportion is for risky portfolio as follows:

                                     E(r_c) = y*E(r_p) + (1 - y)*r_f

                                     y*E(r_p) + (1 - y)*r_f = 0.16

- Re-arrange for proportion y:

                                     y = ( 0.16 - r_f ) / (E(r_p) - r_f)

- Plug in values:

                                    y = ( 0.16 - 0.08 ) / (0.18 - 0.08)

                                    y = 0.80

- Hence, we see that 80% of the total investment budget becomes a part of risky portfolio returns.

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
andrey2020 [161]

The linear inequality that is represented by the graph is; y ≤ One-halfx + 2

<h3>How to Interpret Inequality Graphs?</h3>

The general form of equation of a line in slope intercept form is;

y = mx + c

where;

m is slope

c is y-intercept

Now, from the inequality graph attached, we can see that we can calculate the slope from;

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (3 - 2)/(2 - 0)

m = 1/2

We can also see that the y-intercept which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis is; y = 2.

The line is a solid line and not dotted and the shaded part is beneath the line and as such;

The inequality is; y ≤ One-halfx + 2
