1. Mr. Miles is a first time investor and wants to build a portfolio using only U.S. T-bills and an index fund that closely tracks the S&P 500 Index. The T-bills have a return of 5%. The S&P 500 has a standard deviation of 20% and an expected return of 15%.

A. Draw the CML and mark the points where the investment in the market is 0%, 25%, 75%, and 100%.

B. Mr. Miles is also interested in determining the exact risk and return at each point.

2. Mr. Miles decides to set aside a small part of his wealth for investment in a portfolio that has greater risk than his previous investments because he anticipates that the overall market will generate attractive returns in the future. He assumes that he can borrow money at 5% and achieve the same return on the S&P 500 as before: an expected return of 15% with a standard deviation of 20%. Calculate his expected risk and return if he borrows 25%, 50%, and 100% of his initial investment amount.
