Answer to Question 1

Answer: Expected Return = 7.00; standard deviation = 0.33
Explanation: To find the expected return for an equally-weighted portfolio, first find the expected return in each state via the formula E(rs) = (ri)/n. For the boom state the expected return is 6.67, Normal = 6.67, and Bust period expected return = 7.33. The expected return for the portfolio = E(rp) = (rs)  probability of the state of the world = (6.67  .20) + (6.67  .30) + (7.33  .50) = 7.00.
The standard deviation = (rs - E(r))2  probabilitys(1/2) = (6.67 - 7.00)2  .20 +(6.67 - 7.00)2 .30 + (7.33 - 7.00)2  .50(1/2) = 0.33.
