- Two assets have the following expected returns and standard deviations when the risk-free rate is 5%: Asset A E(rA) = 10% σA = 20% Asset B E(rB) = 15% σB = 27% An investor with a risk aversion of A = 3 would find that _________________ on a risk return basis. only Asset A is acceptable only Asset B is acceptable neither Asset A nor Asset B is acceptable both Asset A and Asset B are acceptableTwo assets have the following expected returns and standard deviations when the risk-free rate is 5%: Asset A E(rA) = 10% σA = 20% Asset B E(rB) = 15% σB = 27% An investor with a risk aversion of A = 3 would find that _________________ on a risk-return basis.a) Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) has reported a 99% Value at Risk (VaR) of 3.09% over a 1268 trading period.

A portfolio consisting of 197 different shares. b. A portfolio consisting of 12 different shares. c. A portfolio consisting of 53 different shares. d. A portfolio consisting of 2 different shares.Asset 1 has a standard deviation of returns of 0.15 while Asset 2 has a standard deviation of returns of 0.20. The correlation coefficient between the returns of the two assets is 0.34. Which of the following is closest to the covariance of the returns of the two assets if they are combined into an equally weighted portfolio? Group of answer choices 0.0129 0.0207 0.0102 0.1440Security A offers an expected rate of return of 12% with a standard deviation of 18%, and security B offers an expected return of 6% with a standard deviation of 25%. Obviously, security B is inferior to security A with respect to both mean return and standard deviation. Assume investors are risk-averse, why would anyone hold security B?

What is the five day 95% Value at Risk (VaR) for the portfolio (95% confidence level represents 1.65 standard deviations on the left side of a normal distribution)?Q8. Which of the following statements are INCORRECT? I Beta measures non-diversifiable risk. II Market's beta is always 1.
