I'm torn between B and C; I know the risk premium is important, but I can't recall if it's considered small or just not rewarding enough.

I practiced a similar question about risk and return, and I feel like the risk premium here isn't compelling enough for a risk averse investor.

I think the answer might be B because a risk averse investor typically avoids risky portfolios unless the premium is significant.

I remember studying risk aversion and how it affects investment choices, but I'm not sure if the risk premium is enough in this case.

Alright, I think I've got this. A risk-averse investor would not invest in the risky portfolio because the risk premium is not high enough to compensate for the additional risk. The 6% return on the Treasury bill is the safer choice.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The question is asking about a risk-averse investor, but the risky portfolio has a higher expected return. I'll need to review my notes on risk aversion and portfolio selection to figure this out.

Okay, let me see. The Treasury bill has a 6% return, while the risky portfolio has a 40% chance of 12% and a 60% chance of 2%. I think the key is whether the risk premium is worth it for a risk-averse investor.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the risk-return tradeoff and the concept of risk premium to determine the best answer.

Ah, the age-old question of risk and reward. As a risk-averse investor, I'd take the 6% Treasury bill any day. No need to chase those crazy high-risk, high-reward investments. Boring is beautiful!

I agree with Alease. The key here is that the investor is risk-averse, so they're not going to take on that level of risk without a substantial risk premium. B is the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The risk premium might be small, but the potential upside of 12% seems enticing. I'm leaning towards C.
