You invest $98 in a risky asset and the T-bill. The risky asset has an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 0.24, and a T-bill with a rate of return of 5%. A portfolio that has an expected outcome of $111 is formed by investing what dollar amount in the risky asset?
Round your answer to the nearest cent (2 decimal places).
Expected Return of Portfolio = (111 - 98)/98 = 13.27%
Let amount in risky asset be y,
So,
0.1327 = y(0.18) + (1 - y)(0.05)
y = 63.62%
Amount in risky asset = 98(0.6362)
Amount in risky asset = $62.34
