- Why will the standard deviation not be a good measure of risk when returnsare negatively skewed?arrow_forwardDraw the indifference curve in the expected return–standard deviation plane corresponding to a utility level of .05 for an investor with a risk aversion coefficient of 3. (Hint: Choose several possible standard deviations, ranging from 0 to .25, and find the expected rates of return providing a utility level of .05. Then plot the expected return–standard deviation points so derived.)arrow_forwardDraw an indifference curve for a risk-neutral investor providing utility level .05.arrow_forward
- The probability distribution of a less risky return is more peaked than that ofa riskier return. What shape would the probability distribution have for (a)completely certain returns and (b) completely uncertain returns?arrow_forwardWhich one of the following statements is correct? Multiple Choice The risk-free rate of return has a risk premium of 1.0. The reward for bearing risk is called the standard deviation. Risks and expected return are inversely related. The higher the expected rate of return, the wider the distribution of returns. Risk premiums are inversely related to the standard deviation of returns.arrow_forwardFor the investors, the more steeper slope of indifference curve shows the morearrow_forward
