covariance matrix:

7.) For a portfolio formed by 40% in the SP500 and 60% in A. Calculate the return on the portfolio.

8.) Using the covariance matrix from question 7, calculate the variance of the portfolio formed by 40% in the SP500 and 60% in A.

9.) Using the variance from question 8, calculate the standard deviation of the portfolio formed by 40% in the SP500 and 60% in A.

10.) Using the average and standard deviation from previous questions, calculate the Sharpe ratio for the portfolio formed by 40% in the SP500 and 60% in A.

11.) Using the averages from question 7, calculate the average of a portfolio formed by 30% in A and 70% in B.

12.) Using the covariance matrix from question 7, calculate the variance of a portfolio formed by 30% in A and 70% in B.

13.) Using the variance from question 12, calculate the standard deviation for the portfolio formed by 30% in A and 70% in B.

14.) Using the average and standard deviation from previous questions, calculate the Sharpe ratio for the portfolio formed by 30% in A and 70% in B.

15.) Which of the portfolios offer greater return per unit of risk taken?

A. The portfolio formed by 30% in A and 70% in B

B. portfolio formed by 40% in the SP500 and 60% in A

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

7.) Return of the Portfolio

= 60 % * 0.0018 + 40 % * 0.0015 = .00168 = 1.68 %
