Security Covariance V 2.30 93 .62 74 15.1 -23 26 -27 -56 2 56 12.5 93 62 1.40 22 22 56 1.80 .78 -27 78 3.40 -56 14.7 9.02 17.68 4 74 - 23 26 2.60 The mean values in the column labeled F are expressed on a percentage basis, whereas the covariances are expressed in units of (percent)? / 100. For example, the first security has an expected rate of return of 15.1%, or 0.151, and a variance of return of 0.023. And the covariance between security 1 and security 2 is 0.0093, while the covariance between security 1 and security 3 is 0.0062. Assume there is also a risk-free asset with r; = 10%. The one-fund…
