Question 17 Suppose Carole has a total wealth of $100,000 and a utility described by U = E -A She has a risk aversion coefficient of A-1. She can borrow and lend/invest at the risk-free rate of 2.8%. Suppose the optimal risky portfolio has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 27.5%, What is her optimal amount to borrow or lend/invest at the risk free rate? Indicate investing/lending as a positive number and borrowing as a negative number. Round to the nearest cent ($0.01). Your answer should not include the $ sign. If your answer is $25.34, it should be written as 25.34.
Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.
Binomial Distribution
Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Suppose the optimal risky portfolio has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 27.5%, What is her optimal amount to borrow or lend/invest at the risk free rate? Indicate investing/lending as a positive number and borrowing as a negative number. Round to the nearest cent ($0.01). Your answer should not include the $ sign. If your answer is $25.34, it should be written as 25.34.
Question 18
Ayear ago, an investor bought 200 shares of a "no-load" mutual fund at $10.01 per share. No-load funds do not change "entry fees or "exit" fees when buying or redeeming shares. Sometime during the year, the fund paid dividends of $0.71 per share and the fund paid capital gains of $0.14 per share - and these payments were reinvested in the fund at an average price of $10.73 per share (fractional shares are allowed - no need to round to the closest whole number of shares). If the investor sells her shares in the fund for the NAV of the fund, $11.86, what is the investor's holding period return (HPR? Assume no transaction costs and no taxes. Remember - Your answer must be in decimal form, not percent. If the answer is 8:3333:%, then answer 0.0833. Round to 4 decimal places
