1. Given the following information, what is the standard deviation of the returns on a portfolio that is invested 35 percent in both Stocks A and C, and 30 percent in Stock B? Picture 1.95 percent 1.13 percent 3.67 percent 2.91 percent 2.36 percent
2. Suppose you are 35 and have a $90,000 face amount, 15-year, limited-payment, participating policy (dividends will be used to build up the cash value of the policy). Your annual premium is $810. The cash value of the policy is expected to be $3,600 in 15 years. Using time value of money and assuming you could invest your money elsewhere at an annual yield of 8 percent, calculate the net cost of insurance. Use Exhibit 1-B.
