(Please show your detailed work)2. Suppose that instead of buying XYZ shares (The initial margin is 60% and the maintenance margin is 40%), you short sold 1000 shares of XYZ at $250 per share on the margin. How far can the stock go up before you receive a margin call?3. Consider the following probability distribution for stocks A and B:State Probability Return on A Return on B1 0.25 7.5% 9%2 0.40 10.5% 11%3 0.35 13.5% 15.5%1) What are the expected rates of return of stocks A and B respectively?2) What are the variances and standard deviations of stocks A and B respectively?3) If you invest 35% of your money in A and 65% in B, what would be your portfolio’s expected rate of return and standard deviation?4. The universe of available securities includes two risky stock funds, A and B, and T-bills. The data are as follows:Expected Return Standard DeviationA 10% 18%B 15% 30%T-bills 3.25% 0The correlation coefficient between A and B =0.451) What is the covariance between funds A and B?2) Find the optimal risky portfolio, P, and its expected return and standard deviation.3) Find the slope of the CAL supported by T-bills and portfolio P.4) How much will an investor with A = 5 invest in funds A and B and in T-bills?5. Here are data for two companies. The T-bill rate is 2.25% and market risk premium is 7%.CompanyABCXYZRealized Return 13% 9%Beta 1.3 0.951) What would be the fair return for each company, according to the CAPM?2) Which company(s) is(are) underpriced and which company(s) is(are) overpriced?
