Variance of Returns of Securities A, B and C
Question
Risk and return
A. Assume that security returns are generated by the single-index model, Ri = αi + βiRM + εi, where Ri is the excess return for security i and RM is the market’s excess return. The risk-free rate is 2%. Suppose also there are 3 securities A, B and C, characterized by the following data:
|
Security |
βi |
E(Ri) |
σ(εi) |
|
A |
0.8 |
10% |
25% |
|
B |
1.0 |
12% |
10% |
|
C |
1.2 |
14% |
20% |
(i) If σM = 20%, help Caillou calculate the variance of returns of securities A, B and C.
(ii) Now assume there are an infinite number of assets with return characteristics identical to those of A, B and C, respectively. If one forms a well-diversified portfolio of type A securities, what will be the mean and variance of the portfolio’s excess returns? What about portfolios composed only of type B and type C stocks?
(iii) Is there an arbitrage opportunity in the market? If so, show Caillou the money.
B. Assume the correlation coefficient between the Sid Science Fund and the S&P/TSX index is 0.70. What percentage of Sid Science Fund’s total risk is specific or unsystematic?

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
1.: I had used another online accounting assignment help provider earlier for one of my accounting assignments and my professor immediately found out that it was not my work. But with TheReliableTutor and their assignment help experts who are from Singapore itself I have never faced this problem and have been happily using their services for the past two semesters.
Chan Heng Chee Student
I started taking their help while pursuing my managerial economics course in New York. So far it is a wonderful experience as unlike most of the online tutoring services, the econ tutors at HwA has industry experience and that enhances the quality of the economics papers.
Liam Wickham Student
I had no idea about optimal design for separating units till I came across the team of HwA. Their team of distillation assignment experts helped me through the course by letting me get excellent grades in all of my assignments.
Alan Watts Student
1. I am studying macroeconomics in one of the top institutes in London. I never thought i would be facing so much trouble distinguishing between macroeconomics and microeconomics. But with TheReliableTutor.com’s econ expert tutors with their extensive knowledge in the subject and years of experience have made studying so much easier for me now! Best thing is I can chat with my online Economics tutor and get the status of the assignment instantly."
Nikhil Aggarwal Student
Marketing was always my area of preference. So I was confident when I got through the MBA program at Duke. But writing all the assignments over the existing work load was proving to be too much for me. The online marketing assignment expert at TheReliableTutor saved my time and effort by conducting all the research and guiding me through the material.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
