Suppose that there is one safe and one risky asset and that the investor has initial wealth . Investing in the risky asset yields the total (principal plus interest) of x(1+r), where r is a random variable with density f(r), r where < 0 < . The safe asset pays zero interest. The investor's final random wealth is Assume that , i.e., that short sales and borrowing at the riskless rate of interest to invest in the risky asset are not allowed. The risk averse von Neumann-Morgenstern investor chooses x to maximize . Prove that if the investor's measure of absolute risk aversion is a decreasing function of w, the wealthier investor will hold more of the risky asset.
Given the following expected return vector and variance-covariance matrix for three assets:
ER= 10.1

What is the capital market line? Who uses it? Would you use it? Who discovered it? How does the capital market line relate to the security market line?
13. If a firm's current ratio is less than 1.0, it indicates that:
a. The firm had negative net income for the year
b. The firm will be unable to pay its shortterm loans which come due this year

Assume that the following market model adequately describes the return-generating behavior of riskyassets.
Rit = ai + ßiRmt + єit
Where Rit = the return for the ith asset at time t
And Rmt = the return on a portfolio containing all riskyassets in some proportion, at time t
Rmt and єit a
A company is considering three different capital projects. Each project will require the same amount of capital outflow. As the CFO you instruct your financial analyst to discount project A's cash stream at 14 percent, project B's cash stream at 12 percent, and project C's cash stream at 17 percent. In doing so, which project
Hello I would like assistance with answering the following question thank you.

Consider a Treasury Bill with a rate of return of 5% and the following portfolios, which have been created by 2 stocks, S1 and S2:
Portfolio A: The weight for S1 and S2 = 0.2 and 0.8; Expected return = 0.15; Standard Dev.= 0.24
Portfolio B: The weight for S1 and S2 = 0.4 and 0.6; Expected return = 0.18; Standard Dev.= 0.3

Listed below are the annual rates of return on the stocks for companies A, B, C, ..., G for each year 1975-2004.
(1) Determine the efficient frontier using portfolios generated from combining just these seven riskyassets. Graph the results. In listing the results in tabular form, show the weights for each le
An investor can design a risky portfolio based on two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 21% and a standard deviation of return of 39%. Stock B has an expected return of 14% and a standard deviation of return of 20%. The correlation coefficient between the returns of A and B is 0.4. The risk-free rate of return i
