3.Assumingnochangeinrisktolerance,thatis,anunchangedriskaversioncoefficient（A）,thenhigherperceivedvolatilityincreasesthedenominatoroftheequationfortheoptimalinvestmentintheriskyportfolio（Equation6.7）.Theproportioninvestedintheriskyportfoliowillthereforedecrease.
4.a.Theexpectedcashflowis:
（0.5×$70,000）+（0.5×200,000）=$135,000
Withariskpremiumof8%overtherisk-freerateof6%,therequiredrateofreturnis14%.Therefore,thepresentvalueoftheportfoliois:
$135,000/1.14=$118,421
b.Iftheportfolioispurchasedfor$118,421,andprovidesanexpectedcashinflowof$135,000,thentheexpectedrateofreturn[E（r）]isasfollows:
$118,421×[1+E（r）]=$135,000
Therefore,E（r）=14%.Theportfoliopriceissettoequatetheexpectedrateofreturnwiththerequiredrateofreturn.
c.IftheriskpremiumoverT-billsisnow12%,thentherequiredreturnis:
6%+12%=18%
Thepresentvalueoftheportfolioisnow:
