An investor has $80,000 to invest in a CD and a mutual fund. The CD yields 8% and the mutual fund yields 7%. The mutual fund requires a minimum investment of $9,000, and the investor requires that at least twice as much should be invested in CDs as in the mutual fund. How much should be invested in CDs and how much in the mutual fund to maximize the return? What is the maximum return? To maximize income, the investor should place $ in CDs and $ in the mutual fund. (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)

1. Suppose there is a mutual fund and each consumer buys a share in it for her endowment at t = 0. The mutual fund | maximises the wealth of its shareholders when choosing IF, the investment in the long term technology. At t =1, the mutual fund pays dividend d to each of its shareholders. At t = 1, the shares can be traded at price p". a. Set up the mutual fund's optimisation problem and derive and interpret the first order condition. What happens when R increases and why? b. What is the optimal consumption profile cf, c and the optimal investment IF? | c. Calculate (i.e. derive an expression for) d and p".

Suppose you have some money to invest-for simplicity, $1-and you are planning to put a fraction w into a stock market mutual fund and the rest, 1 w, into a bond mutual fund. Suppose that $1 invested in a stock fund yields R after 1 year and that $1 invested in a bond fund yields Rp. suppose that R, is random with mean 0.08 (8%) and standard deviation 0.07, and suppose that R, is random with mean 0.05 (5%) and standard deviation 0.04. The correlation between R and R, is 0.25. If you place a fraction w of your money in the stock fund and the rest, 1 - w, in the bond fund, then the return on your investment is R=wR, +(1-w)Rb Suppose that w=0.51. Compute the mean and standard deviation of R. The mean is. (Round your response to three decimal places.) The standard deviation is. (Round your response to three decimal places.)

Consider a borrow-and-invest strategy in which you use $1 million of your own money and borrow another $1 million (at the t-bill rate) to invest $2 million in a market index fund. If the risk free interest rate is 5.52 percent and the expected rate of return on the market index fund is 12.68 percent, what is the risk premium on this borrow-and-invest strategy?
