Use the following information: E[rXOM] = 15.6%, standard deviationXOM = 15.9% E[rMS]=29.7%, standard deviationMS = 35.2% Correlation of returns: ρXOM,MS = 0.139, rf=10% If the optimal amount to invest in the first asset (w) is 0.43, what is the variance of the risky portfolio when w=0.43? (write in decimal format using 5 decimal places) b. When choosing the best point of the POS (the curved line connecting two possible assets you can invest in) you need to find the point that: 1.Has the greatest difference between it’s return and the risk free rate, thus leading to the best return 2. You must solve for the optimal y allocation in order to find the best point on the POS 3. The point with the lowest standard deviation 4. The point with the greatest Sharpe ratio5.
