Consider an investment that pays off $700 or $1,400 per $1,000 invested with equal probability. Suppose you have $1,000 but are willing to borrow to increase your expected return. What would happen to the expected value and standard deviation of the investment if you borrowed an additional $1,000 and invested a total of $2,000? What if you borrowed $2,000 to invest a total of $3,000? Instructions: Complete the table below to answer the questions above. Enter your responses as whole numbers and enter percentage values as percentages not decimals (i.e., 23% not 0.23). Enter a negative sign (-) to indicate a negative number if necessary.
