Consider the following information for three stocks, Stock A, Stock B, and Stock C. The returns on each of the three stocks are positively correlated, but they are not perfectly correlated. (That is, all of the correlation coefficients are between 0 and 1.)
Stock - Expected Return - Standard Deviation - Beta
Stock A - 10% - 20% - 1.0
Stock B - 10 - 20 - 1.0
Stock C - 12 - 20 - 1.4
Portfolio P has half of its funds invested in Stock A and half invested in Stock B. Portfolio Q has one third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the market is in equilibrium.
