Answer:
Expected return on portfolio = 8.7%
The standard deviation of the portfolio will be 6%
Explanation:
In order to find the expected return of the portfolio we will multiply the weight of each of the investment with their expected return and add them.
Weight of risky asset = 0.30
Expected return of risky asset= 0.15
=0.30*0.15=0.045
Weight of T bill = 0.70
Return on T Bill = 0.06
=0.70 *0.06=0.042
Expected portfolio return=0.042+0.045=0.087= 8.7%
In order to find the standard deviation of the portfolio will multiply the standard deviation of the risky asset with its weight only because the T bill has no risk or variance therefore the standard deviation of the portfolio will only be contributed by the risky asset.
Standard deviation of risky asset =(0.04)^0.5 =0.2
Weight of Risky asset = 0.30
=0.30*0.2=0.06
=6%
