Asset A has an expected return of 15% and Asset B has an expected return of 12%. Based on a probability distribution, the standard deviation for Asset A is 10% and the standard deviation for Asset B is 5%. a.) Based only on the standard deviation, which investment is less risky? Discuss your reasons for your selection including why you feel that asset is less risky. b.) Calculate the coefficient of variation for each asset and post your answers. Based...

Suppose the returns on an asset are normally distributed. The historical average annual return for the asset was 6.7 percent and the standard deviation was 12.6 percent. a. What is the probability that your return on this asset will be less than -10.1 percent in a given year? Use the NORMDIST function in Excel to answer this question. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b.What range of...
