Respuesta :

Answer:

27%

Explanation:

Given the following sorted data from the question:  

                                              Seminole         Market Portfolio

Average Return                              18%                         14%

Standard Deviation of Returns      30%                        22%

Beta                                                  1.4                            1.0

Residual Standard Deviation         4.0%                        0.0%  

Therefore, we have:

Percentage of investment in Seminole Fund = Market portfolio SD of returns / Seminole SD of returns = 22% / 30% = 73.33%, or 73%

Percentage of investment in T-Bills = 100% - 73% = 27%

Therefore, the percentage of the adjusted portfolio that would need to be invested in T-Bills is 27%.
