Marked Problem Set 2 Dagoberto Gonzalez Paez Student ID --65824138 November 28‚ 2013 1. Suppose that you can trade a riskless asset that yields 5% and two risky assets A and B. The expected return of asset A is 8% and that of asset B is 11%‚ while the standard deviation of asset A is 14% and that of asset B is 23%. The covariance between assets A and B is ?0:0322. Solution . rA‚B= CovAR(A‚B) / [(σA)(σB)] = -0.0322 / (14%)(23%) rA‚B = -1 But when rA‚B = -1
