Ch 13] Julia has $5,000.00 to invest in a portfolio. She will build the portfolio from threeassets: Stock A with an expected return of 16.0% and a standard deviation of 42% Stock B with an expected return of 12.0% and a standard deviation of 32% T-Bills with an expected return of 4.00% and a standard deviation of 0%.Assume that she can short sell T-bills, the risk-free asset (or borrow at the risk-free rate).Assume also that she will invest the same amount in Stock A and Stock B.

Question 6 Suppose that an investor has £1,000,000 to invest in a portfolio containing stocks A, B and a risk-free asset. The investor must invest all her money, and she is using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to make predictions of the expected return-beta relationship. Her objective is to create a portfolio that has an expected return of 14% and which has a beta of 0.75. If stock A has an expected return of 30% and a beta of 1.9, stock B has an expected return of 20% and a beta of 1.4, and the risk-free rate is 8%, how much money will she invest in stock A? Explain your answer and show your calculations.
