Consider the following assets: Bad Okay Good

Market M -5% 5% 15%

Asset X -2% -3% 25%

Asset Y -4% -6% 30%

Assume each scenario is equally likely Do the following: a.) Compute the market betas for assets X and Y. b.) Compute the correlations for X and Y with M. c.) Assume you were holding only M. You now are selling 10% of your M portfolio to replace it with 10% of either X or Y. Would an M & X portfolio or M & Y portfolio be riskier?

Consider this table of values for a function: x f(x) -3 15 -2 2 -1 -5 0 -3 1 4 2 8 3 -12 How many zeroes does this function appear to have? Where are those zeroes (give intervals of x-values). Use interval notation. Can you be guaranteed that those are the only zeroes? Why or why not? If I told you that the table represented a third degree (cubic) polynomial, is that enough to guarantee that those are the...

Consider the following two assets: Asset A’s expected return is 15% and return standard deviation is 20%. Asset B’s expected return is 10% and return standard deviation is 15%. The correlation between assets A and B is 0.5. (a) w1=0.75, w2=.50, find out expected returns and SD/VARIANCE (b) Instead of a correlation of 0.5 between assets A and B, consider a correlation of - 0.5 and re-compute the above.
