Homework Answers
The answer is either asset.
Explanation:
Probable return from Asset A = ($2000 x 20%) + ($500 x 80%) = $800
Probable return from Asset B = ($1000 x 50%) + ($600 x 50%) = $800
Because the probable return from both the assets is same, either of the assets can be acquired for the same price.

Consider the following two investments. One is a risk-free investment with a $100 return. The other investment pays $2,000 20% of the time and a $375 loss the rest of the time. Based on this information, answer the following: (i) Compute the expected returns and standard deviations on these two investments individually. (ii) Compute the value at risk for each investment. (iii) Which investment will risk-averse investors prefer, if either? Which investment will risk- neutral investors prefer, if either?

An investment of $10,000 in a high risk venture has a 50-50 chance over the next year of increasing to $14,000 or decreasing to $8000. Thus the net return can be either $4000 or -$2,000. Two investors A and B have exhibited the following indifference probabilities: Indifference Probabilities Net return ($) Investor A Investor B -2000 0.00 0.00 -1000 .70 .10 0 .80 .20 1000 .85 .30 2000 .90 .50 3000 .95 .60 4000 1.00 1.00 Graph the utility functions...
