On the other hand, if the FBMKLCI rises, then the depositor gets his initial deposit 10% of the percentage rise in the FBMKLCI over the one year.)(i) (Demonstrate using graph, the payoff profile of each alternative (plot the maximum loss, maximum profit and break even point)) (ii) Describe the risk profile of each alternative.) (iii) Explain two key factors that your friend ought to consider in deciding between the two alternatives)
