Chapter 6, Problem 7PS
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The indifference curve is to be drawn where utility score is 0.05 and the risk aversion coefficient is 4 and to be compare with question 6.
Introduction: The indifference curve is drawn between the expected return and risk. It is used for the representation of risk trade off for the investor.

Draw the indifference curve in the expected return–standard deviation plane corresponding to a utility level of .05 for an investor with a risk aversion coefficient of 3. (Hint: Choose several possible standard deviations, ranging from 0 to .25, and find the expected rates of return providing a utility level of .05. Then plot the expected return–standard deviation points so derived.)
What must be true about the sign of the risk aversion coefficient, A, for a risk lover? Draw the indifference curve for a utility level of .05 for a risk lover.
On the basis of the utility formula below, which investment would you select if you were risk averse with A = 4?

Multiple Choice The risk-free rate of return has a risk premium of 1.0. The reward for bearing risk is called the standard deviation. Risks and expected return are inversely related. The higher the expected rate of return, the wider the distribution of returns. Risk premiums are inversely related to the standard deviation of returns.arrow_forward
