What makes for a good investment? Use the approximate yield formula or a financial calculator to rank the following investments according to their expected returns. Buy a stock for $30 a share, hold it for three years, and then sell it for $60 a share (the stock pays annual dividends of $2 a share). Buy a security for $40, hold it for two years, and then sell it for $100 (current income on this security is zero). Buy a one-year, 5 percent note for $1,000 (assume that the note has a $1,000 par value and that it will be held to maturity).

You invest 80% of your portfolio in a risky portfolio that has an expected rate of return of 15% and a standard deviation of 21%, and the rest in T-bill with a 2% rate. What is the expected return of your portfolio? Enter your answer as a decimal number, rounded to three decimal places.
If you invest 70 percent your savings (out of a total of 100 percent) in a secutity with 13 percent expected return and a standard deviation of 16 percent and invest all of the remaining percentage of your savings in a security with 18 percent expected return and a standard deviation of 23 percent, what is the standard deviation of returns in percentage from his portfolio of two securities (to two decimal places)? Assume that the risk free rate of return is 5 percent and the correlation between the two securities is -0.0. (Your answer should be entered as a number and not after dividing by 100. So if the answer comes out to be, say, 2 percent, your should enter 2.00 and not 0.02)
