Hide student question Issue #11: Comparison of Returns on $200000 and 5.5% on$70,000 Investors, as reasonable economic creatures commit toinvestment portfolios with the expectation of earning valuable returns. Keon as a logical investor believes his investment should provide the best value of rewards and is considering which option to invest in. The expected returns should be something similar or equal to his historical gain of 9% per annum.
