We are considering investing in three stocks. The random variable Si represents the value one year from now of $1 invested in stock i. We are given that E(S1) = 1.15, E(S2) = 1.21, E(S3) = 1.09; var S1 = 0.09, var S2 = 0.04, var S3 = 0.01;cov(S1,S2) = 0.006, cov(S1,S3) = −0.004, and cov(S2, S3) = 0.005. We have$100 to invest and want to have an expected return of at least 15% during the next year. Formulate a QPP to find the portfolio of minimum variance that attains an expected return of at least 15%.
