Stock A: ER = 5%, SD = 5%; Stock B: ER = 10%, SD = 10%;
The correlation coefficient is 0.5.
a) Show how you can create a portfolio with these two stocks which would have an ER of 8%. What is the SD of this portfolio?
Formula : √(Wa2 x oa2 + Wb2 x ob2 + 2 x Wa x Wb x oa x ob x pab)
Standard Deviation of the Portfolio = (Wa2 x 0.052 + Wb2 x 0.12 + 2 x Wa x Wb x 0.05 x 0.01 x 0.5)
Expected Return : ER = Wa x Ra + Wb + Rb
8% = 5% X + (1 - X) x 10%
5% x X + 10% - 8% - 10% x X = 0
- 5% x X = 2%
X = - 2/5 = - 40%
Wa = 40% and Wb = 60% (100 - 40)
We have to invest 40% of our money in Stock A and 60% of Stock B.
Standard Deviation of the Portfolio = √(Wa2 x 0.052 + Wb2 x 0.12 + 2 x Wa x Wb x 0.05 x 0.01 x 0.5) = √(0.42 x 0.052 + 0.62 x 0.12 + 2 x 0.4 x 0.6 x 0.05 x 0.01 x 0.5) = 7.21%

[...] Calculate the breakeven price of this option, i.e. at what price would the stock have to be so that you have not gained or lost any money by buying this option. Exercise price = $80 / share Premium price = / share Breakeven price formula = Exercise Price Premium Breakeven price = 80 5 = 75 $ The Breakeven price is $75 per share If the stock of the put option above (with a premium of $5/share) is selling for $82/share, calculate the time value of this option.

[...] On June 30, your portfolio's value was €16,125. The next day you added another €3000 to the portfolio. Calculate your annual return on the portfolio, if no other money was added or removed, and the value on December 31 was €18,360.
