Question: Assume that \({{r}_{f}}=0.04\), \(E\left( {{R}_{m}} \right)=0.20\), and \({{\sigma }_{m}}=0.2\), where m denotes the tangency (or market) portfolio. Suppose that an investor's preferences are given by

\[U=E\left( {{R}_{p}} \right)-4\sigma _{p}^{2}\]

where p denotes the investor's portfolio choice which combines proportion w of the

market portfolio and proportion 1-w of the risk-free asset. Note that the slope of the

investor's indifference curves is 8 \({{\sigma }_{p}}\)
