For this question, you want to round up to two digits for the final answer. If the final answer is in
percentage form, round up to the nearest basis point.
Assume that the hypothetical investor has the following utility function
U=E[r]-A2Var(r)=E[r]-A22
There are two risky assets available. Their mean and variance are given by: E[rA]=5%,A=
15%,E[rB]=10%,B=28%.
Risk-free rate is given by rf=3%.
(a) What are the Sharpe ratios of rA and rB?
(b) Assume that A=1, calculate the utility index of rA,rB, and rf. Which one gives the highest
utility score?
(c) Assume that A=2, calculate the utility index of rA,rB, and rf. Which one gives the highest
utility score?
(d) Assume that A=5, calculate the utility index of rA,rB, and rf. At A=5, are rA and rB
attractive as individual assets?
