Consider the following portfolio choice problem. The investor has initial wealth w andutility u(x) = (x^n) /n. There is a safe asset (such as a US government bond) that has netreal return of zero. There is also a risky asset with a random net return that has onlytwo possible returns, R1 with probability 1 − q and R0 with probability q. We assumeR1 < 0, R0 > 0. Let A be the amount invested in the risky asset, so that w − A isinvested in the safe asset.1) What are risk preferences of this investor, are they risk-averse, riskneutral or risk-loving?2) Find A as a function of w.

1. Tanner is choosing between two investment options. He can invest $500 now and get (guaranteed) $550 in one year, or invest $500 now and get (guaranteed) $531.40 back later today. The risk-free rate is 3.5%. Which investment should Tanner prefer? A) $531.40 later today, since $1 today is worth more than $1 in one year. B) $550 in one year, since it is $50 more than he invested rather than $31.40 more than he invested. C) Neither - both investments have a negative NPV. D) Tanner should be indifferent between the two investments, since both are equivalent to the same amount of cash today.
