Write out the equation for the Capital Market Line (CML), and draw it on the graph. Interpret the plotted CML. Now add a set of indifference curves and illustrate how an investors optimal portfolio is some combination of the risky portfolio and the risk-free asset. What is the composition of the risky portfolio?

The security market line depicts: a. Expected return as a function of systematic risk (indicated by beta) b. The market portfolio as the optimal portfolio of risky assets c. The relationship between a security’s return and the return on the index d. Portfolio combinations of the market portfolio and the risk-free asset e. Expected return as a function of volatility
Which of the following statements is true regarding the optimal risky portfolio: It is designated by the point of tangency with iso-utility curve and the capital allocation line. It is designated by the point of highest Sharpe ratio in the opportunity set. It is designed by the point of tangency with the opportunity set and the securities market line. This portfolio gives the highest standard deviation risk per unit of risk premium in the opportunity set.
Please answer each of the following questions in detail and provide examples for each of the questions below. Explain the criteria for assessing performance of a security, namely, expected rate of return, standard deviation of rate of return, and coefficient of variation (CV). Explain how by forming a portfolio an instrument can be generated that has properties better than each of its constituents in terms of the standard deviation of rate of return and CV. Kindly answer all the subparts with examples wherever asked.

Which of the following statements regarding non-systematic risk, systematic risk and total risk is/are true? Select one or more:a. As the number of assets within a portfolio increases, the total risk of a portfolio will go to zero.b. A riskfree asset must have zero non-systematic risk.c. A well diversified portfolio must have zero systematic riskd. Under the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).an asset with zero systematic risk must have expected return equal to the riskfree rate.
Construct a plausible graph that shows risk (asmeasured by portfolio standard deviation) on thex-axis and expected rate of return on the y-axis.Now add an illustrative feasible (or attainable) setof portfolios and show what portion of the feasibleset is efficient. What makes a particular portfolioefficient? Don’t worry about specific values whenconstructing the graph—merely illustrate howthings look with “reasonable” data
Which of the following is TRUE? To construct a capital market line, we use expected return as y-axis and beta as x-axis On the capital market line debt securities are located to the right of the market portfolio To construct a security market line, we use expected return as y-axis and beta as x-axis Market portfolio lays at an intersection of the average indifference curve of a risk-averse investor and the efficient portfolio
How to construct Portfolio of different risk levels, given information about the risk-free rate and the returns on risky assets? What is a systematicrisk? How can we diversify risk efficiency?
