You are evaluating a closed-end mutual fund and see that its price is different from its net asset value (NAV). The fund has an expense ratio (ε) of 2.80% and a dividend yield (Ō) of 4.00%. The fund has experienced a risk-adjusted abnormal return (a) of 3.40%. By what amount (premium or discount) is the fund likely to trade relative to its NAV? Note: Use a minus sign if the amount is a discount. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Amount 0.99 %

An investor considers two mutual funds. Based on past experience, the first fund has an expected return of 0.08 and a standard deviation of 0.05. The second fund has an expected return of 0.07 and a standard deviation of 0.06. There is no reason to assume that future performance of these funds will differ from past performance. However, the second fund has a guarantee attached that the return in any year will not be negative.RequiredA. Which fund would a rational investor be likely to buy according to single-person decision theory?B. The investor buys the second fund. Use prospect theory to explain why.
