Question 1)
Federico wants to calculate the expected rate of return for security for his work as a freelance
investment banker. He has the following figures to calculate CAPM: the risk-free interest rate is
4%, the expected return of the market is 17%, and the risk index of the security is 1.40.
Explain the following three variables which influence the overall rate of return on alternative investments:
The real risk-free rate of return
The nominal risk-free rate of return
The risk premium on the investment
As an investor now or in the future, what are steps that you would take to mitigate the risk of interest rate risk? Do you believe age and current economic status play a role in how much interest rate risk investors can tolerate?

Investment in each category has the same risk. So you want to invest in the highest return for the same risk. Take each demand type and choose the highest return and put that amount into the investment. For example, if Bond fund A has a return of 4% and Fund B has a return of 5%, they have the same risk, so you would put $70 into bond fund B.
