Portfolio Returns i. stock has mean of 8% and stdev of 20%; ii bond has mean of 6% and stdev of 15%; iii correlation b/w stock and bond of -0.3; iv. Risk free rate for cash lending and borrowing is at 1%. a. What is the mean and stdev of a portfolio of that is 60% in stock and 40% in bond (3 points)

Answer:

Portfolio Mean = 7.2%

Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%

Explanation:

The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,

Portfolio Mean = wA * rA  +  wB  *  rB

Where,

Portfolio Mean = 60% * 8%  +  40% * 6%

Portfolio Mean = 7.2%

The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated using the attached formula.

Portfolio Stdev = √(0.6)² (0.2)² + (0.4)² (0.15)² + 2(0.6) (0.4) (-0.3) (0.2) (0.15)

Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%

The Bassos contracted with Dierberg to purchase her property for $1,310,000. One term of the contract stated, "[t]he sale under this contract shall be closed . . . at the office of Community Title Company. . . on May 16, 1988 at 10:00 am. . . . Time is of the essence of this contract." After forming the contract, the Bassos assigned their right to purchase Dierberg’s property to Miceli and Slonim Development Corp. At 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, Dierberg appeared at Community Title for closing. No representative of Miceli and Slonim was there, nor did anyone from Miceli and Slonim inform Dierberg that there would be any delay in the closing. At 10:20 am, Dierberg declared the contract null and void because the closing did not take place as agreed, and she left the title company office shortly thereafter. Dierberg had intended to use the purchase money to close another contract to purchase real estate later in the day. At about 10:30 AM, a representative of Miceli and Slonim appeared at Community Title to begin the closing, but the representative did not have the funds for payment until 1 :30 PM. Dierberg refused to return to the title company, stating that Miceli and Slonim had breached the contract by failing to tender payment on time. She had already made alternative arrangements to finance her purchase of other real estate to meet her obligation under that contract. Miceli and Slonim sued Dierberg, claiming that the contract did not require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, but rather some time on the day of May 16. Will they prevail?
