1. A portfolio consists of a T-bill with a face amount of $10,000 and 200 shares of Camel Corp stock priced at $60 a share. The T-bill matures after 1 yr, and its yield is 9.4%. The expected return on the stocks is 16%, with sigma of 22%. Find E(Rp) and σ(Rp) of the portfolio. The answer is E(Rp) = 13.15%, σ(Rp)= 12.49%.

TUTORIAL
(1.0)
Where,
W1 = the weighting for T-bills = 10,000/ (10000 + (200*60)) = 45%,
W2 = the weighting for Camel Corp shares = (60*200)/ (10000 + (200*60)) = 55%,
R1 = the return for T-bills = 9.4%
R2 = the return for T-bills = 16%
Substituting these values in (1.0)
NOTE: The difference, between your answer and mine, is because of ROUNDING.
