Answer:

Option D is the correct option

Explanation:

To find the optimal fund to combine with risk free rate of return, we will use Coefficient of variation,

Coefficient of variation(CoV) = Standard Deviation/Expected Return

CoV of Buckeye = 14%/20% = 0.7

CoV of Wolverine = 11%/12% = 0.9167

So, higher the CoV higher the risk, we will take Buckeye to combine with Risk Free Return.

Hence, Option A

- Required target return of portfolio = 22%

Risk Free return = 8%

Buckeye Return = 20%

Let the weight of Buckeye be X ,& weight of risk free be (1-X)

Required return = (WRF)*(RRF) + (WB)*(RB)

22 = (1-X)(8) + (X)(20)

22 = 8-8X + 20X

14 = 12X

X = 1.17

SO, weight of Buckeye is 1.17 or 117%

while weight of Risk free is -0.17 (1-1.17) or -17%

Hence, ans is OPTION D
