for question 1, I have calculated the expected return=11.55%, risk = variance= 0.478 for part a. For part b, i think the expected return is 11.1355% and the weigh is 0.09695, 0.5833, 0.3047. The part I am stuck with is part c. I have no idea how to find the tangency portfolio.
For question 2, I am again stuck in part c, I can only calculate that a is larger than 0, but I can't prove that a cannot be smaller than 0.0009.
