Consider the following two, completely separate, economies. The expected return and volatility of all stocks in both economies is the same. In the first economy, all stocks move together – in good times all prices rise together and in bad times they all fall together. In the second economy, stock returns are independent – one stock increasing in price has no effect on the prices of other stocks. Assuming you are risk-averse, and you could choose one of the two economies in which to invest, which one would you choose? Explain.

Hint: first solve for the RATE by adjusting for semiannual again, then multiply this result by 2 to bring it back to annual. The PMT and FV have the same sign since they are inflows to the investor, while the PV has the opposite sign as an outflow from the investor when they buy the bond.
