Summary Introduction
To calculate: The risk free rate of the portfolio.
Introduction: Share ratio is used to measure the risk return. It is difference of the expected return to the risk free rate and divided by the standard deviation. Treynor ratio measures the return value on the value of beta.

Suppose your utility function is described by U = E(r) - 0.5A xo² with A> 0, and you are combining the risk-free asset with the optimal risky asset to maximize the utility. Consider the following two situations: 1. Suppose r(b) = r(f): you form the optimal complete portfolio C1 by borrowing money at r(f) and invest y1 (i.e., y1 represents portfolio weight) in the optimal risky portfolio (P1). Your utility score under this situation is denoted as U1; II. Suppose r(b) >r(f): you form another optimal complete portfolio C2 by borrowing money at r(b) and invest y2 (1.e., y2 represents portfolio weight) in the optimal risky portfolio (P2). Your utility score under this situation is denoted as U2. For simplicity, let's assume the optimal risky portfolios under these two situations are the same (i.e., E(P1)=E(P2) and o(P1) = o(P2)).

The following data is available about the market portfolio, the riskless rate, and two risky assets, W and X: The market portfolio has a standard deviation equals to 10%, stock W has an expected return equals to 16%, standard deviation equals to 12%, and beta equals to one, stock X has a standard deviation equals to 6% and beta equals to 0.7.
