Computation of expected return and the volatility of your portfolio

Suppose you have $50,000 in cash and you'd like to take advantage of the broad undervaluation in the equity market by investing heavily in stocks. Your plan is to borrow another $50,000 at an interest rate of 5% per year for one year and to invest the entire $100,000 in the S&P500. Historically S&P 500 has produced an average return of 15% per year at a volatility of 25% per year.
