Consider the following data for assets A and B:
Return A = 10% Return B = 19%; Standard deviation A 3%; standard deviation B 5%; Beta A= .6; Beta B = 1.4; Pab = 0.4
a. Calculate the expected return, variance, and beta of a portfolio constructed by investing 1/3 in A and 2/3 in asset B.
b. If only the riskless asset and assets A and B are available find the optimum risky asset portfolio if the risk free rate is 8%.
