Investment Management Inc. (IMI) uses the capital market line to make asset allocation recommendations. IMI derives the following forecasts:
∙ Expected return on the market portfolio: 12%.                                            ∙ Standard deviation on the market portfolio: 20%
∙ Risk-free rate: 5%
Samuel Johnson seeks IMI’s advice for a portfolio asset allocation. Johnson informs IMI that he wants the standard deviation of the portfolio to equal half of the standard deviation for the
