The calculations in the above tables directly represent the market value of the bond under two different interest rates. The change in the overall interest rate has a relatively altered the overall market price of the bond and increase the values from the levels of $86,188 to $111,198. The change in the overall interest rates from the levels of 11.50 % to 6% as a relatively altered the value of the bond. The interest rates are relatively considered the minimum interest rates that can be provided from restless treasury bonds. Therefore, the alterations in the market interest rate for directly increase or decrease the overall demand for the bones, which will affect their market price. The rising interest rates would eventually reduce the level of Bond price to the levels of $86,188, as the interest rates are higher than the coupon payments. Therefore, rising interest rates would reduce the bond price as risk free interest is more profitable than the corporate Bonds (Weber, Duffy & Schram, 2018). In the similar instance, the decline in interest rates would eventually increase the attractiveness of the corporate bonds as higher coupon payments are conducted in comparison to the risk free interests.

Expected return of a stock or portfolio is calculated by analyzing its historical average returns, which helps in deriving their future returns. In the similar instance, the overall risk of the stock of portfolio is relatively calculated with the help of standard deviation formula, which utilizes their historical returns. This analysis of the expected return and risk attributes of the stock would eventually allow the investors to determine the level of investment that needs to be conducted. From the evaluation of the calculated expected return and risk, the cash is considered to the least risky investment, while investments in property are considered to be the riskiest investment (Gottschlich & Hinz, 2014). Furthermore, the analysis of the calculations directly indicates that from the created portfolios portfolio Gamma is considered to have the lowest risk involved in investment, while portfolio Alpha has the highest risk from investment.
Diversification is an adequate measure that is used by investors for reducing the level of risk involved in investment while incorporating a higher level of risky assets in the portfolio. The diversification method is relatively allowed investors to accommodate high-risk investments and Risk free assets reduce the level of portfolio risk and generate adequate returns for investment. Impact of the diversification strategy can be seen in the above-calculated portfolio Alpha, portfolio beta, and portfolio Gamma. The diversification relatively uses the overall portfolio weight to determine the level of investments that need to be conducted in a particular stock. Moreover, the correlation of the different stocks is used in creating the diversified portfolio, which helps in minimizing the risk involved in investment. The correlation Coefficient relatively allows the investors to detect the level of impact market returns have on the particular stock. Utilizing the correlation Coefficient values while deriving the portfolio allows investors to minimize the negative impacts from market risk and maximize the level of income that can be generated from an investment. From the evaluation of the portfolios it can be understood that portfolio, has the least risk involved in investment while having the highest returns (Yu & Huiping, 2018).
1. Indicating how much money will be accumulated from the investment:
Systematic risk is relatively considered as the overall market risk or undiversifiable risk, which negatively affects the overall return capability of a particular stock. The systematic risk is relatively calculated from the day to day fluctuations a stock’s share price, which is relatively influenced by the overall market actions. Asset B is considered the riskiest is asset, as its overall beta is relatively at the levels of 2, where the increment or decline in the overall market return by 10% will directly affect share price value of Asset B. On the other hand, the reduced beta value of Asset A will not negatively affect its overall share value, as its beta is valued at 0.5. The measure of systematic risk can be conducted with the help of different calculations, which allows investors to determine the negative impact capital market can have on the share price of the stock (Tokuoka, 2017).
Risk aversion is human behavior is conducted by the investors for reducing the level of risk involved in investment. Investors relatively utilize different methods and strategies to minimize the level of uncertainty that could be predicted from a particular investment. This overall protection from adverse price action is a relatively known as risk aversion, which is conducted by investors to secure their overall invested capital. Risk aversion is relatively conducted with the help of adequate measures the portfolio was created for minimizing the impact of capital market and maintains adequate returns from investment. However, the risk aversion does not reduce or minimize the risk of investment to zero, as there is relevant risk involved in investment. From the evaluation could be understood that is a part of the investing life cycle, as it allows investors to evaluate the different stages of investment and motivate them to diversify their exposure in accordance with the risk level (Wang et al., 2014).
The Portfolio Alpha is selected for Stephanie, Portfolio Beta is selected for Harold and Meredith, while Portfolio Gamma is selected for Akhter. The selection process of the portfolio for the customers is based on the investment scope and risk criteria. Stephanie being young with a long and successful career will eventually have high-risk capability, where his aims would be to generate higher income and growth from investment, which is why Portfolio Alpha is best, suited for his investment criteria. In addition, the middle-aged couple would like to have secure investment with high growth prospects, which is why Portfolio Beta is best, suited for them. Lastly, Akhter will be retired in 18 months where his investment aim is to secure the capital and generate adequate constant returns to support his retirement, which is why Portfolio Gamma is selected for him.
