What are her expected returns and the risk from her investment in the three assets? How do they compare with investing in asset M alone?
Hint:
Find the standard deviations of asset M and of the portfolio equally invested in assets M, N, and O.
b. Could Sally reduce her total risk even more by using assets M and N only, assets M and O only, or assets N and O only? Use a 50/50 split between the asset pairs, and find the standard deviation of each asset pair.
