1.
Expected payoff=0.3*15+0.7*5=8 million
Variance=0.3*(15-8)^2+0.7*(5-8)^2=21 million^2
Standard Deviation=sqrt(21)=4.582575695 million

A project has a 0.7 chance of doubling your investment in a year and a 0.3 chance of halving your investment in year. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on this investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Standard deviation
12 points) uonsanb Hayek Corporation has a 0.3 probability of a return of 0.66, a 0.3 probability of a rate of return of 0.05, and the remaining probability of a 0.30 rate of return. What is the variance in the expected rate of return of Hayek Corporation? Your Answer:
A project with an initial outlay of Tshs 10 million has a 0.2 probability of producing a return of Tshs 8 million in Year 1 and a 0.8 probability of delivering a return of Tshs 5 million in Year 1. If the Tshs 8 million result occurs then the second year could return either Tshs 7 million (probability of 0.5) or Tshs 3 million (probability of 0.5). If the Tshs 5 million result in Year 1 occurs then either Tshs...

1. a. Two investors, A and B, are evaluating the same investment opportunity, which has an expected value of £100. The utility functions of A and B are ln(x) and x2, respectively. Which investor has a certainty equivalent higher than 100? Which investor requires the higher risk premium? b. (i) Describe suitable measures of risk for ‘loss-aversion’ and ‘risk aversion’. (ii) Concisely define the term ‘risk neutral’ with respect to a utility function u (w), where w is the realisation...
you are considering investing in two securities. Security 1 has a expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of return of 10%. Security 2 has an expected return of 9%and a standard deviation of returns of 8%. The correlation coefficient of returns for the two securities is 0.3. What would the weights be for each of the two securities in the minimum variance portfolio? W1= W2= Given the weights computed in (a), compute the expected return and standard deviation...
