a) Carl Frost is a risk averse investor. He looks at the table in the Chapter 10 slides titledHistorical Returns 1926-2014 and decides to invest $100,000 for three years in the asset that is least likely to have a negative return. For the first year, his return is one standard deviation below average. The next year is one standard deviation above average. The final year, his return is in line with the historical average. What is his final account value, rounded to the nearest dollar?

b)If Carl had invested in large company stocks instead, and had the same experience for three years (i.e. his return was one standard deviation below the mean the first year, above the second year, and at the mean the third year), what would his account valuebe now?
