| gill15 | Why isnt III correct? Higher the value of A the lower the utility score (High positive A from notes is Risk Averse ---- Low utility is less tolerance to risk) |
| gill15 | Never mind... |
| khalifa92 | Utility theory = Expected return - ( 0.5*var*A) those are subtracted contribute to lower utility |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
