The accompanying table shows a portion of the annual returns (in %) for a technology mutual fund and an energy mutual fund from 1982 through 2018.

Circle the right answer

a. Which fund had the higher reward over this time period?

Technology/energy , since it has the higher/lower, Standard deviation/Mean/Coefficient

b. Which fund was riskier over this time period?

Technology/energy , since it has the higher/lower, Standard deviation/Mean/Coefficient

c-1. Given a risk-free rate of 2%, calculate the Sharpe ratio for each fund? What does this ratio imply. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Sharpe Ratio for Technology __________

Sharpe Ratio for Energy ____________

c-2. Over this time period, the Sharpe ratio implies that the: a.Technology fund had a higher reward per unit of risk.

b.Energy fund had a higher reward per unit of risk.

c.Technology fund had the higher relative dispersion.

d.Energy fund had the lower relative dispersion.
