Suppose that you have to choose an optimal portfolio from a list of n stocks. Stock i has expected revenue rate u, with variance of for i = 1,..., n, and the covariance of the revenues of stocks i and j is given by oij for i ‡j, i, j = 1,..., n. The proportion of stock i in the portfolio is denoted by x₁. a) Showing your working carefully, show that the expected revenue from the port- folio isipi, and find an expression for the variance of the portfolio revenue, again showing your working carefully. b) Still for a general number of n stocks, formulate this as an optimization problem using Lagrange multipliers, and find a set of linear equations for the optimal values of the ris. You do not need to solve the problem at this stage.
